Update May 2017, visit my new online shop featuring my coastal and nature themed mosaic art. I found pink plastic flamingos while at Dollar Tree one day and purchased a couple thinking I would paint them in a fun design. I ended up putting them on a shelf in my studio and I kind of forgot about them! When working on a Mosaic Surfboard I spotted one of thos flamingos and decided to try my hand making a mosaic flamingo too. Sorry I don't have "during" photos but it's pretty straightforward. I roughed up the surface with coarse sandpaper and used Acrylpro ceramic tile adhesive to attach the pink and orange stained glass tile and set aside to dry. Since I work with stained glass I happened to have some on hand and I cut the tiles myself. You can probably find pre-cut stained glass pieces online or maybe even pink ceramic tile and you could smash it with a hammer... cover the tiles with a towel and wear safety glasses! After it was dry, I grouted with white grout. He came with black wire legs that stick into the body. When I was grouting, I stuck a little nail in the holes so I would know where they were. The legs are hard to see in the pic. Since the plastic flamingo is much heavier now with the glass and grout, I had to do some finagling to get him to stand straight. If I make another, I would find thicker wire or maybe even rods of rebar to use for the legs. I used little black beads for the eyes He looks great! I ended up moving and selling him at my yard sale so I'm not sure how he ended up after living outside although I imagine the results would be great since it was a plastic base and the adhesive and the grout are both safe for outdoor use.
