Passion and Projects

Out I pop out of bed (3:30 AM). I had an idea. When I was younger I had this delightful set of mosaic tiles that you put in place on this grid that could be dumped out and started all over again with. I freaking loved this thing. Freshmen year of college. I put magnetic tape on the back of those tiles you get in school and made mosaics out of them on the side of my wall (which was magnetic, cool huh?).

Mosaics.

I love colors. I love mixing colors. I love patterns and designs. Maybe. Maybe mosaics would be good?

GOOGLE MOSAICS AND TIIIIIILES!!!

Ok. Kids stuff kids stuff kids stuff. How to do your own. Hmmm how do I get tiles? www.sicis.com. Holy shit. I am in love. These are the most beautiful glass tiles I have ever seen. Made in Ravenna, Italy. I just. Wait so how do I buy these? What the? This is the most complicated website of all time. Wow talk about artsy. Yes you guys are cool with your photos and moving scrowlies and doodads and wow I LOVE those tiles. WHERE IS BUYING!? Seriously. I don’t care about your exhibits. Surely you want to overprice and package these gems. Fine. Google this shit. AHHHHH!! 64$ PER SQUARE FOOT??  SQUARE FOOT?! Reduced to 25-40$. Mother of- well. Uh. I knew it was going to be expensive.  But they are so pretty! Oh this isn’t loose tile. This is ready to install in your home tile. Oh.

So I looked around some more. Prices got lower. My heart has already been taken, but whatever. Still going to be expensive.

Shoot. We are going to Hobby Lobby.
