Finished flower

Looks like a flower in a cathedral now, lovely.

It looks like a flower through a window :o))

lovely lulu, do you put a hanger on them when finished?

I do Sanbaz and back them either with sticky felt or when I run out, paint the backs too.

looks nice

Lovely!

Do y'all think I should paint the grout, am in two minds as it looks a bit messy to me!

What happens if you dont like the paint?? Could you experiment on one corner?? Eeeek, go careful. Could you use your 'dots' instead?

lulu if your going to paint the grout i wouldnt do it do deep a colour, just a faint pastel, dont want to take the eye from the flower if you know what i mean ;o)

tbh lulu, i do think it would look better painted, but agree with San.

I just thought the grout looked a tad messy!Oor er, maybe wait till I'm back from Yorkshire, when in doubt do nada! But thanks for your comments folks:o)

Good thinking. Do you think it's just the bits around the leaves that look 'messy'?

I could chip that out, but in a way it delineates the leaves!!

Yes, I was wondering if it would look ok with just that bit of grout painted, perhaps gold to match the petals?

That's nice :o)

thanks Hywel :0)

That is beautiful.........

I.m not sure about painting it Lulu.

Nor am I, will just leave it for now! Lucky I'm going away because then I can't fiddle!! When I come home my garden REALLY NEEDS SOME ATTENTION!!!

lul iv been thinking about al this and iv decided i would leave the paint as it will take the eye off the beautifull flowers, i think the natural look of the grout compliments the rest of the picture :o)have a great holiday x

Thanks Sanbaz, I think you are right!

your welcome lulu :o)

I like that very much.

Thank you sue! I love trying to find these beautiful brooches, they make interesting mosaics.
