How to Turn Broken Ceramics Into Art

Look at the pieces of ceramic with a new eye: as raw material for art. Figure out how much area the pieces will cover and whether they are small enough.

Break up bigger pieces carefully. Place them in a pillow case or old sock and tap them - not too hard, but not too softly - with a hammer. Stop when you have pieces small enough to lie flat on the surface to which you'll attach them.

Choose the object you will decorate. Consider a wide picture frame for pieces of smaller objects, a flowerpot or - if you have lots of pieces - the top of an end table

Ongtina I have never seen what you describe but it does not sound complicated. I bet if you experimented and practiced you could create this same kind of art yourself.

I have only seen sand art once and that was many years ago, but I still remember how beautiful it was. I went on a date with a guy who lived in a different part of the country and he asked me if I had ever seen sand art. I said no and then he took to me to a place where there were lots sand art. We walked around for a long time and I really enjoyed looking at the beautiful things that people had made, I was really impressed. I think it could be fun to try it one day

daer, I'd love to see the kind of painting you're talking about.
