I knew while starting this project, that it is not going to be easy. I assumed I would get all the supplies in Michaels, Walmart or JoAnns. OH man….I was so naive.
I need mirror tiles, glass tiles, glass gems (pebbles) etc. I need these supplies by the pounds….but these arts & craft stores have them either in pieces or in ounces. I have been checking online stores and Ebay too for supplies. I don’t like to order these things online as I like to see and feel the stuff that I am buying. I have very specific things I am looking for with regards to the size, colors and weight. You cannot do that online. Plus these stores charge an arm and leg for the shipping costs.
On a positive note after a lot of searching, I found a dealer online who had the glass pieces I needed….so I ordered about 7 lbs of those. I hope I get them within the next week. I found the piece of plywood I was looking for in Home Depot and had that cut to 20″ x 48″. I am planning to hang this wall decor in my living room above the couch…so it had to be of that specific size.
I still need a lot of supplies…I may have to spend this rainy and stormy weekend hunting for those in the local stores again. Wish me luck. I have this deep feeling that I am not going to finish this project by March 30th.
The only thing that I have done so far is sketch the pattern on the board.
