Mosaic

I had this idea ages ago for prettying up the front of the fireplace but I keep forgetting!

I've never done mosaic work before but I'm willing to give it a go. Why not do a pretty mosaic feature to cover up the slate?

Because the Tree of Life is so symbolic for Andrew & I, that might be a nice pattern to use for the fireplace.

Here are some inspiring "tree of life" mosaic pictures I found on Google.

Or I could just make my own Tree of Life by repeating the style of our wall art?

And the awesome thing is that I have just found an online mosaic design website so I can start experimenting!

Tree of Life

Moontree Candle Studio


Believe it or not, Andrew chose this artwork. It is a set of three mangowood carved panels.

The tree of life holds alot of emotional and spiritual sentiment for us, for Andrew especially.

So when we visited the Moontree studio in the Blue Mountains back in December, Andrew saw this beautiful artwork and bought it on the spot.

I think it will take pride of place in our lounge room or perhaps in the hallway so it can be seen as people walk through into the house.

The worst thing about this is that since our visit to the store, they have added more mangowood carvings to their range......





Guess who wants to buy this one but has been told there's not enough room....
