My sister Merri came to help me after my surgery last October. I wanted to make something as a thank you to her. She mentioned that she really would like to have a mosaic cross to hang in her newly decorated bedroom. Her theme was blue and white Oriental with a touch of coral.
After making the silver “Naples” China pattern cross, I was ready to give it another try.
I collected my blue and white china and hammered the plates. I began with the 4 ends of the cross using the outside edges. Then, it was easier to fill in the center.

I opened the tile adhesive and began putting the china bits in place.
After I glued all the china onto the cross, I let it dry overnight.
The next day, I applied the grout, cleaned the tiles and let that dry one more night.
I am so happy with the way this cross turned out. I have two more different kinds of china that I'm going to use in two more crosses.
Thank you sister Merri!
