I love jewelry, but I like other crafts too. I recently tried something new - mosaic tile. It was very time and labor intensive, and I have new respect for the prices artists charge for their items. I found a table the size I wanted at a yard sale for $2. The legs needed to be tightened, I added a wood edge to the top, and I painted it white. Then I had to plan my design and pull together all the tiles, glass bubbles, and photographs. I used pink and iridescent pre-cut mosaic tiles, broken china, china plate focals, and glass "bubbles" (like you put in flower vases). I put flower themed photos of my granddaughter Mia under large flat glass bubbles. I'm usually very critical of my own work, but for once I am very pleased with the results!
