Every year our Yahoo group has a group project for the end of the year.
This is our 2008 one.
Originally there were 24 participants but some got lost along the way so 21 of us were in the final count....to replace the missing ones,we tweaked a few tiles and I made extra.
Everyone was given a shape to cut 24 of, and told to texturise but not heavily embellish it and they were then sent to me here so Bevlea and I could assemble the final piece whilst she was here on her annual visit.
We spent three days,drank 2 casks of chardy, ate two packets of crisps and 2 packets of Jatz crackers along with two containers of dips.... a mild one for her and a spicy one for me...drank numerous cups of coffee and green tea and lived off left-overs of left-overs whilst assembling the 21 of them!
Bevlea assembled the tiles onto the backing and I added the bling and rusty elements to the tiles and the distressed music sheet peaks and eggs to the top.
I distressed the music sheet with a wash of acrylic paint, then used Ranger Distress ink on the points and finally gave it a coat of shellac.
We were pleased with the resulting finished project and I am sure the recipients will be too.

I just about fell apart when mine arrived. I love it so much! You guys did an amazing job!
the mosaic is just gorgeous!! as is your soldered pendant Barb, great job.
Mosaic looks great finished Barb and you did a great job of the soldered pendant. Yep them small ones are hard to do. But do look good tho.
Thanx Mary and Glenda....will give the soldering another go when I find time.
Claire...I am pleased to hear you liked it that much!...a lot of effort was put into it as the final result shows.
Yes, your piece looks lovely!
