Blogtoberfest – Post 27
23 Oct
As anyone who’s read my blog for more than a week would know, I’m obsessed with making flickr mosaics. I used to try to keep my mosaic making to weekly but since I’ve been struggling with my Blogtoberfest posts I’ve been churning out too many and have wondered if I should try to cut back, after all this blog is meant to be about my home, not the millions of people on Flickr’s. So in a case of perfect timing I whooped with joy reading Tamara of Sunday Stash fame’s blog as she’s invited people to play along with Friday Flickr Favourites. I have the perfect excuse to continue with my mosaic obsession on a weekly basis – thanks Tamara!
So in honour of the mosaics, we have…well.. mosaics!
1. Spookylicious Haunted House, 2. bathroom floor “mosaic floor”, 3. baker mosaic detail, 4. Splashbackpoppydetails, 5. Mosaic for Music Building, 6. Birdbath Bowl – finished, 7. dragonfly house number, 8. all the flowers in a row detail, 9. 055
