Feeling bored one day at home and the need to do some 'mosaicing', I rummaged in my kitchen cupboards and found this bamboo chopping board which has a loose handle and decided to do an Owl. This is for my Mother-in-Law who collects owls in any shape or form.
 |
| The start |
I drew the outline on the board and had the owl sitting on a branch but later found out that I had no suitable tiles for the branch so went to Plan B and gave him legs! Cutting the square tiles and forming circles was quite challenging but I think the result speaks for itself.
 |
| Progress |
I now wish I had made the centre of the circle in the wing slightly larger to have more of an effect. Another lesson learnt!
 |
| Ready for Grouting |
I covered the board around the owl in masking tape to protect it from the grout. I had done a frog on a rock previously and didn't protect the rock and the frog had a white film around it . . .

| Masked Owl! |
 |
| Finished |
Ready to take home back to Kenya for Polly!
Did you know that at group of Owls is called a 'Parliament of Owls'?
