| I'm going to put this under the condensation line from one of the a/c units. The plan in that the drips from the a/c will keep enough water in the bowl for the butterflies to enjoy it. The large clear stones are taller and a have some texture so they can enjoy a sip and keep their toes dry.
It's my first attempt at mosaic and it does look like it, but all in all I'm happy with it.

| Very nice. I think you did just fine with your mosaic. It is very pretty and I am sure the butterflies will love it. And it will be maintenamce free with the A/C drips. Thank you for sharing. - Marylee |

| I think it turned out really nice. Good idea to put it under the drip from the a/c. Will you use the old mount to attach it to the wall or set it on something or just put it on the ground or what? Thanks for sharing. |

| Like the border around it & the 3 green 1/2 marbles spaced around & the flowers, you did a very nice jog on it. And saved that dish from landfill!! Butterflies should have a great place to get a drink! Jan |

| Normally I don't like white grout but it looks very pretty on your butterfly dish! I think your half marbles and squiggles will look very pretty in the sun. And great idea putting it under the a/c drip! I'm sure the butterflies will thank you. To clean off the glass pieces, I take the scotch pads you use for washing dishes and just scour the grout off the glass pieces. It will take a little elbow grease but you'll be surprised at how shinier the glass will be. You might want to seal your grout too so it doesn't get dirty. You did a great job! Keep those great ideas coming! |
