Elizabeth - yes please :o)) lol Lynne - l will:o)) at present l'm just messing around, but would like to make a Kitchen rail , you know the hall stands (standing or fixed), they are shaped wood with hooks on, well abit like that but with a towel rail instead of hooks (or simular) then meat hooks hanging from that, you can then hang saucepans etc from it, or on a lighter weight thing, hang mugs from it. In the book l'm using it uses plates, some of which are the old 60's style,bit retro:o) Have to find some polly filler now (for practise). Hubbies walking around thinking "gawd what next" lol jude sarf wales

Jude, You could also try using some brightly coloured odd china plates etc. The edges would be reasonably flat. You would probably find some for pennies in the charity shops, or I have a fine collection of odd china in my cupboards!!! Elisabeth xx

Hi Jude You could try second hand shops/antique shops or charity shops as you can buy very cheap second hand tiles in all of them usually. Let us know how you get on! I am thinking about doing some mosaic round a mirror for my bathroom but will need to buy more bathroom tiles so that it matches. Lynne
