Pictures of latest Masterpiece!!

Okay... i've been trying to put these up since yesterday, but for some reason, I haven't been able to get on here. Could be, that after what seems such a long time, well, it has been a long time.. we finally got some of the wet stuff from the sky yesterday. We got buckets and buckets of the wet stuff from the sky yesterday. Even the pool overflowed. It was great.. I sat and knitted (yeah I know I know..everybody gets a giggle out of that one. But, I love to knit when it rains.

 Anyway... the history behind my wonderful toilet is this.. (I can say it;s wonderful.. got to blow wind up my own skirt occassionally... not that I ever wear a skirt... but, oh well, you know)

I've wanted to mosaic a loo for a long time now, and it happened that my neighbour was redoing his bathrooms. I'll have your toilets Johnny.. I told him.. his face was priceless...  EEeeiiiuuww, he replied... it;s ok.. at least I know who;s peed and whatnotted in them, and bleach is a wonderful thing you know.. Gimme the toilets!! So.... one night husband comes home from work, and there is this pee stained loo sitting next to my work bench. He just shook his head and walked inside. Anyway... the best bit is... when Johnny went to put his NEW $250 loo in... he dropped in and cracked it. HA haahaaaaa!!! Kell... here.. have this one.. no one's even sat on it yet!! So.. I got rid of the used one, scored a brand new one... and did this with it!! The top is done in glass, just in case any of the guys get adventurous on band nights and try to wee in it.. they'll get more than circumsized!! (can I say that here?) and the rest is done in ceramic tiles. It tokk me 5 hours to grout it, but it was well worth it. Ok.... I can't quite position these buggers right. Oh well, and here;s one of the pool too.. all finished. Oh, well, at least I got that one in the right spot!!

take care campers,,,,, until next time... Love Kells xx

  • I like it...VERY impressive! I have done a little of everything but never attempted a toilet yet...thought about painting the tile in the bathroom into a mural though. A question...will sweating cause the colors to fade in time?

  • Very nice! I was wondering if we would ever get to see it.

    The cricket IS going well, but with our bogey team, Sri Lanka aslo making it through to the semis, the cahnce of us winning the whole thing is very slim. But hey, at least we got to the semis!

  • Joanie, It won't fade as it is coloured glass and the outside of it is done in ceramic tiles.. I have heaps of other stuff i;ve done that's outside, and it's all weatherproof, but, alas, not birdpoo proof!!

  • What nice stuff! It's actually similar to all the garden mosaics My daughter and I have been doing recently. A bit like putting together a jig saw puzzle - but you have the luxury of making cranky pieces fit to suit!

  • Very nice work Kells. Nothing wrong with knitting, although I guess its a while until you will be doing Nanna rugs.
