Mosaic table and a chair

My most read blog entry here is the one about my attempt to make an outside table with home made mosaic on top, a sea, a sun and a sky. But that did end with a disaster, the table was destroyed after a heavy rain unfortunately.

But here is one mosaic table in Thailand, and one lovely chair, in iron. Found them on a small street in Kamala Beach in Phuket, with an elephant and all. Really nice, and they where home made too.

Another mosaic table

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...

Mosaic - in Bangkok

I love mosaic - wherever I can find it. This is two ones from a temple in Thailand, and it's capital Bangkok.

The first one is in blue and gold.

This one is more of turquoise and gold, but a bit worn.

Shopping in Tunisia

I know, this is just some of the things that you can buy while in Tunisia. But one thing you really find everywhere is carpets, the carpet vendors will not give up before they sold you a rug.

And then you can find tiles and other things in handpainted ceramics of all kind, like this "turisty" things.

Even if they are made just for turists, the mosaic work is sometimes really good.

And here is another carpet, up close.

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.
