Then I tried a picture frame and a birdhouse. I'm ready to branch out into other projects, so I like the idea of doing a mosaic bowling ball. But the mirror scares me! I'll stick with tiles. I have purchased pretty plates on clearance, and broke them up into bits.

Hopefully I can get my hands on some as Bob is a bowler and maybe he knows someone throwing some away. My dear hubby took his and gave them to the bowling alley AFTER I had mentioned wanting some.
