As a professional artist, it is my job to make art. (Once again, thank you Captain Obvious.)
As a hobbyist, once in awhile I also make artsy things for fun.
Mosaic stepping stones are one of those hobby projects. I started this about 20 years ago because our massive yard needed stepping stones. It was so fun that I started selling them. I must have made 10 dozen, and the more I made, the more tiles appeared in my life.
I could stretch this into a series of posts, showing old photos, explaining the process, photographing them around my yard, along with other mosaic projects.
Nah. Let’s just look at the current crop.
First I gather the supplies, then start arranging the pieces and cementing them in place. Sometimes I have companionship.
Dark gray grout really makes the color pop. I bought it because it was the only color available, and the bag has lasted and lasted and lasted. 
I keep thinking that I will run out of tiles or grout pretty soon. I sure hope I have enough grout to finish these last four. But then I will still have tiles, so I will have to buy more adhesive, forms and grout.
I could just give away all the excess. . .

These are beautiful. For sale?
Could be, I guess! I don’t really need any more.
The blue and white striped one with the yellow down the middle reminds me of the Ukraine flag. I’ll bet you could sell a lot of those right now.
Wow, Marjie, I didn’t notice that at all! I just thought it would be a quick one because I didn’t have to smash anything and arrange tiny puzzle pieces. Those are the leftover tiles from my walk-in shower that got built 2 years ago. I don’t do many shows any more, and those stepping stones are really heavy to schlep around.
