The One Year Dollar Store Mosaic Flamingo Project

You may have already seen these pics on my Facebook Page

about my "One Year Project".

About a year ago while working on Mosaic Surfboard Order 

and already had my supplies out, I grabbed a Dollar Tree 

plastic Pink Flamingo I had and decided to mosaic him too.

He started out something like this

I used regular tile adhesive to attach, set him aside to dry,

and since I was making him for myself, he kind of got put on the back burner.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I was grouting these these mosaic

bones for my dog beds, I saw the flamingo in the corner and decided to finish him.

Also, I just noticed the bandaid on the left in the mosaic pic above LOL...yep

Side note...

I always use this product when mixing my grout.

You can use it in place of all the water or some of the water.

It has polymers in it that make the grout stronger and more water resistant.

He has black wire legs that came with him that stick into the body...

they are hard to see in the pic.

Since it's heaver with the glass and grout, I had to do 

some finagling to get him to stand straight.

I used little black beads for the eyes

And there you have it...the One Year Project.

Feels good to cross something off the list!

I would love for you to come visit on Facebook

or find me on Pinterest
