A mermaid bath

Dino Boy and I got a bit adventurous in the last couple of weeks…

…we tried our hands at mosaic and made a mermaid bath!

 ~ We’re entering The Mermaid Project competition held by Taming the Goblin! ~

Our local hardware store is one of our favourite places to visit…

So many wonderful supplies and possibilities!!

We happily chose some mermaid-y mosaic tiles, mosaic adhesive glue and mortar

We couldn’t wait to get home and get started!

Mind you, we really had no idea about making a mosaic…

But we simply leapt right in *smile*

Dino Boy was patient and careful placing the tiles in our bath…

But before too long he told me that I could glue them while he played…

He had a wonderful time sorting and arranging our mosaic tiles on the table *smile*

While I continued gluing… which was a peaceful and calming activity

Next we mixed up the mortar and Dino Boy spread it over our bath…

The sides got a little tricky…so I got to have a go too *smile*

Before wiping the excess off…

{while Dino Boy became the camera man}

We love how it turned out *smile*

{although I’m sure we broke many ‘mosaic rules’ ~ if such things exist!}

And we will be doing more mosaics in the future… such fun!

We can happily imagine mermaids frolicking in the depths of our mosaic bath
