I have a thing for watering cans.
I didn't know it until I realized I had three of them. I found the first one at Sally Ann's. You can see what I did with it here.

Here is watering can number two (you'll have to wait to see number three in a future post.) I bought this years ago at TJ Maxx. I loved the shiny bright red color and as the sun fades it, I like it even more. The brass nozzle has a nice patina to it now as well.
I decided to mosaic the top. Here it is before I grouted it.
It was hard to find a dish that had some "red" in it. After looking through my china collection, I found this plate. The funny thing is, it's one of the first plates I ever bought for mosaics and that was way back when....
Here it is after I grouted it.
I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I used a grout, my friend Chris gave me. It's called Irish creme. It seemed to have a red tone to it.
I have to say that I'm please with how it looks hanging out with my 'forget-me-nots'.
I wish the 'forget-me-nots' stayed in bloom all summer long.
What have you been creating?

Kaye, you are very talented! What beautiful mosaic work! I have never tried mosaics. Love what you did to the watering can!
