This is another mosaic table I made myself, not the whole table of course, but the top. I used glass mosaic, already cut in pieces and all of them in blue and green color's.
So this time the pattern was easier, just random, no landscape. An this wooden table I have in my livingroom, not outside, so it will last longer than the other one...

My mosaic table
Last summer I wanted to make a table to put outdoor in my garden. So I opted for a mosaic table made from old tiles that I cut in pieces.
But first I draw the patterns I wanted - a turquoise sea, a sun and a blue sky - on the table.
Then piece by piece I put them there and glued them on the table with cement.
Now it was time for the finishing touch, and after that I was ready to put it all out in the sun in my garden. Or at least I thought so.
And it turned out well, at first. At least it looked good. Then I placed a sink in the table, so I could be able to wash hands outside.
But then it started to rain, not uncommon here in Sweden. And then it all fell apart, and had to throw it all away....
But it was beautiful as long it lasted.
If you want to see what I got instead - look for the blog post here on My blog from Ostuna that's about home made pizzas.
