Mosaic step

Hello
Here is a pic of the mosaic I did to cover up the front of an ugly concrete step that leads to the pool deck. I used pea gravel, 2 colors of blue glass beads, and clear liquid nails.


I used the blue glass to kind of represent water. I think it looks much better than the big chunk of concrete sticking out of the ground.

Lovely! The plantings look great too. Did you have to lay flat on the ground to do that?

Thanks, and yes I did have to lay down to be able to do it comfortably. The tricky part was getting back up. At the ripe old age of 32, I sometimes feel like i'm 82, lol.

Very cool idea for what must have been unsightly. Easy, cheap, and fabulous-looking! Oh, and can you tell me how you were able to put your photos right on your posting? I can't seem to do it myself.

Thanks,

Cynthia

Thanks everybody.
Cynthia, Do you use Photobucket? It is a website that "holds your pictures for you". Under the photo, there will be a line marked TAG. Just cut and paste that right into the body of your post. It's very simple.
