Flamingos!!!

I still haven't gotten around to my mosaic "how to" post but in the meantime, see these photos and understand why my blog is named "Crazy for Flamingos".

Again, my kitchen window

Vintage Flamingo planter

Santa Flamingo that resides year round in my Mosaic (and catch all ) Work Room

Cool Flamingo print from a local Artist, also in my Mosaic Work Room

Flamingo tea towels hung on the door of my antique hutch. These vintage bowls all have issues, cracks, etc, but we use them and enjoy thinking of their history :)

A Flamingo painting (sorry for the glare) and two Flamingos that a dear friend (who knows me very well) gave me on my birthday one year

Flamingo "pencil" art

Vintage TURNER print. I got this at a yard sale for 10 bucks!

Vintage  Flamingo print and vintage Florida hand towel

Another vintage Flamingo print

Vintage Flamingo vase



So there it is, my Flamingo Crazy collection. But that's not all; I also have Flamingos in the yard and on the front porch. Will have to get phots of those another day.

As of now it seems I am chatting to myself as I've yet to see any traffic. I sure hope that changes as I continue posting. PLEASE, if you have been here, add a comment, even if it's just a big ole "HELLO". Thanks!!

Vintage China Mosaics

One of my greatest passions is creating Mosaics with vintage broken china. I've taken a little break from it this last year but here are some photos of my creations over the years.
One of my early creations. Sold this one on Ebay.

These birdbaths were special ordered and sold.

This sweet little cabinet was sold on Ebay.

Vintage window that now hangs on my kitchen wall.

Cake Plate that was sold on Ebay.

Chalkboard! The ideas are almost limitless for mosaics.

This is a true FAV! Here's a closeup pic:
This is one of my early creations and it sits in our hallway.

This was a long but fun job. It also sold on Ebay.

Love the Vintage Flamingo plate I used in the center. This also hangs in the kitchen.

So that's it for today but I have lots and lots and lots more to show later. Also I'm going to post some general directions on how to create mosaics along with the tools and supplies needed. Coming soon!!

Crazy for flamingos, shabby, vintage, broken china mosaics, thrifting, reading and more! I'm new here and learning (trying) to blog for the very first time. Here I want to share what and who I love in life.
