A mermaid bath



Dino Boy and I got a bit adventurous in the last couple of weeks...
...we tried our hands at mosaic and made a mermaid bath!



Our local hardware store is one of our favourite places to visit...
So many wonderful supplies and possibilities!!

We happily chose some mermaid-y mosaic tiles, mosaic adhesive glue and mortar





We couldn't wait to get home and get started!
Mind you, we really had no idea about making a mosaic...
But we simply leapt right in *smile*


Dino Boy was patient and careful placing the tiles in our bath...
But before too long he told me that I could glue them while he played...
He had a wonderful time sorting and arranging our mosaic tiles on the table *smile*


While I continued gluing... which was a peaceful and calming activity


Next we mixed up the mortar and Dino Boy spread it over our bath...
The sides got a little tricky...so I got to have a go too *smile*


Before wiping the excess off...
{while Dino Boy became the camera man}


We love how it turned out *smile*
{although I'm sure we broke many 'mosaic rules' ~ if such things exist!}


And we will be doing more mosaics in the future... such fun!


We can happily imagine mermaids frolicking in the depths of our mosaic bath  
can't you...

Happy crafting, Kelly
