Seagull table centre

 

RESIN water over goldfish, mosaic seagull on guard. Table centre, plantstand, teapot stand. Unique

This was an experiment, before I do an expensive resin pour to create a river run, using waney edged wood.

The chopping board base looked new (charity shop). I used thicker than normal glass tiles around the edge, and mosaic-ed 3 goldfish (not grouted by choice).

Separately, my husband cut a seagull shape from MDF, to which I added (both sides) mosaic ceramic tiles. I used acrylic paint on the MDF edges. A “next time” thought – the beak didn’t quite work as it’s too wide! I’m not sure how I’d overcome that, so I need to think of a different design. Puffin next!

I grouted the seagull and the surround, making sure there were no places where the resin could leak out. The seagull is glued to a piece of river rock. I added pigment to the clear resin, and it has created a smooth colourful surface.
