| Just something I tried. It's supposed to be a snake on the rock, but I really should have left the rock bare with just the snake on it, instead of tiling the whole thing, as now it's hard to see the snake.

| Lovely. Have you ever tried doing that on bowling balls. They look grat in a garden as well |

| Jill, I'd love to do a bowling ball, but where do you get the ball? I've never seen any. I wonder if bowling alleys would have any old chipped ones that they'd be willing to part with.............hmm?! BTW, Jill, I responded to your email. Laurelann |

| Yes, check bowling allies and goodwill! I love your rock. It would look very nice nestled in some plants. :) |

| Thanks GariAnn, I'd like to do that but I used glue on the rock instead of silicon, so it's going to have to stay indoors. My next project, whatever it may be, will definitely for outdoors. Laurel |

| Laurel I will tell you all about glues when I see you. I think I may have a bowling ball you can have . for any one else looking here Welbond glue is excellent for indoors or out. |

| When you do a rock or a bowling ball.....what do you suggest to seal it with when you plan to place it outside?? |
RE: Mosaic Rock
| | |
| I spent a little time with Jill, and she does wonderful work, for both inside and out. She suggested that sanded grout always be used for outdoors. Then seal with a grout sealer, or she also suggested a couple of coat of diluted weldbond (4-1). Laurel |

| I have also met Jill a few years ago too. I have one of her stain glass butterflies in a plant pot. I am now more interested in stain glass and have tried some. I have done some mosaics too. My favourite is window art! I have managed to get myself some old windows from garbage days in Ayr and am getting them ready to start my window art. I found a stained glass, mosaics teacher in Brantford, Ontario who gives me classes when my schedule permits (shift worker). |

| Don't forget to post pictures when you've done some of your window art! I'm looking forward to seeing them. Laurel |
