Glass Tile Tree Mosaic

05/30/2012

So I'm not much of a traditionalist when it comes to art.  I lean much more to "craft" than traditional art.  But I recently made up a piece from craft tiles, with crafty mediums, and turned it into a mosaic that I just love.  Best of all - I can even show you today how I made it, and you can try ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
