It has been a creative day with a little bit of mosaic making. These pieces of pottery are now covering the top of an old table. Stanley and I spent a happy hour sticking and grouting. At long last some of the pieces of china we found whilst beach combing at Lyme Regis now have a permanent resting place on this little table. The lovely lady with the ruff in the top photo is my favourite shard found in amongst the grains of sand. Normally people fossil hunt on the beach at Lyme Regis but a Victorian rubbish dump at the top of the cliffs means than the beach also yields more recent treasure of a ceramic kind.
I'm with you on the recent fossil hunt. There is something captivating about finding a small piece of a beautiful ceramic item.
ReplyDeleteGoodness you had a busy weekend--allotmenting and mosaicing! I feel so lazy now... K x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Len and Kristina. Lovely to have your comments.I enjoyed making the table so much I am keen to create more!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's impressive - I always mean to have a go as I've kept all the nice things I've broken. Now you've reassured me about hanging onto all those broken pieces!
ReplyDeleteWow, we have been to Lyme zillions of times and I never knew about the Victorian dump. Have found several fossils but no ceramics! The table looks fab. Love the colours. M x
ReplyDeleteHi Madeleine thanks for your lovely comment. Yes use up those broken things. Use No Nails glue to glue the tiles to the surface. It works really well!x
