Thanks Sheilar and Cinders it was very enjoyable and very theraputic nice to have something to do when the weather is rubbish and I can't go out in the garden:)

You ve done your self proud its gorgeous well done from me too.

Thanks 6d:)

:o)) Your welcome Nana d

Yes really good..well done! Do you have to seal it with pva or something to be outside?

Hi Pixi thanks, er not sure about the seal the grout and the adhesive said for external use but I will check with Lulu as she does a lot of external mosaics. Still not managed to put it in the garden yet it has been too rainy so my kitchen table is out of commission!

Yeah she's the boss! lol
Been rainy here too again..was sunny this morning but see dark clouds in the distance. Sigh...

It's fab nana! Did you use that grout lightener you bought, very effective!
Most grout is waterproof Pix and so is the PVA, which doesn't really come into contact with the rain anyway!!
Rainy and some sunny spells here, grass is growing again!!

Oh ok..see? waht do i know..told you Lulu was the boss! :))

Thanks Lulu, yes I used Unibond grout reviver:) What do you use for mosaics that you want to hang in the garden is ie what wood etc?? and how do you seal it?? Sorry Lulu lots of questions??. Still absolutely chucking down here not been out at all how is your man in the garden Pixi is he finished yet??

Looks great Nana! Have you started your next one?

Use the same glue and grout........just make sure no gaps and stick it all onto a weatherproof backing like stone, slate or paving stone.

No unfrotunately not fisnished..need some good weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Lulu have you ever used wood and put a sealant on it for the garden?? Thank you Lil, yes I have just started my second one and I know what I want to do for my third and fourth lol! Shame Pixi not being able to finish your fabulous man in the garden, this weather is dreadful but having said that the sun has just come out so I might venture in the garden.

Sun was out went in then came out then went in rain started stopped started stopped..I give up! I'll get it finished one day lol :)

Grrrr same here Pixi OH has just managed to mow the lawn in between showers ...so frustrating still you man won't be going anywhere lets keep our fingers crossed that the rain stops soon:)

:)))

I haven't Nana. It would need a new coat each year I think, just to keep it safe from the wet. Yacht varnish and the likes.

Lovely work Nana :))))))))))))))

Well impressed,there's a lot of talent on Goy and you have the professional to guide you.What more can you ask.

Thank you Bjs yes I had the expert guidance of Lulu and Lil which was lovely...... I asked lots of questions!

love this one to nana, do you seal them to go outside :o)

Hi Sandra I haven't but I think I might go to Wickes I'm sure that they had some sort of clear seal that you can put on to protect outside tiles and grout
