As a professional artist, it is my job to make art. (Once again, thank you Captain Obvious.) 

As a hobbyist, once in awhile I also make artsy things for fun. 

Mosaic stepping stones are one of those hobby projects. I started this about 20 years ago because our massive yard needed stepping stones. It was so fun that I started selling them. I must have made 10 dozen, and the more I made, the more tiles appeared in my life. 

I could stretch this into a series of posts, showing old photos, explaining the process, photographing them around my yard, along with other mosaic projects. 

Nah. Let’s just look at the current crop.

First I gather the supplies, then start arranging the pieces and cementing them in place. Sometimes I have companionship.

Dark gray grout really makes the color pop. I bought it because it was the only color available, and the bag has lasted and lasted and lasted. 

I keep thinking that I will run out of tiles or grout pretty soon. I sure hope I have enough grout to finish these last four. But then I will still have tiles, so I will have to buy more adhesive, forms and grout. 

I could just give away all the excess. . .
