OUTDOOR ADDRESS SIGNS

One of my first projects was a two sided address sign that could be seen from the road by traffic going both directions. The sign was to be placed on a property at the beach, so I did an ocean image on one side and a sandcastle image on the other side.

I used a combination of ceramic tiles, rocks, dishes and shells. Some worked better than others, but we all need to start somewhere - and this was the beginning of my mosaic journey. I grouted it all in white and sealed. My husband helped set the mosaic sign in a wooden frame, anchored into the ground with concrete. Here's a little closer detail:



And here's the sandcastle side:



Thanks for viewing my early beginnings. More to come!
