Patchwork with glue for a change.

I began with a little china teapot, a pile of tiny scraps, a paintbrush and PVA glue. It took longer than I expected as I had to leave it to dry a few times and it was very messy!

Its looking very pretty and unique Sue :)
Did you cover the teapot with the scraps like we do in making a paper mache?
Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you had fun on this yesterday. Is it still usable?

Polyvinyl Acrylate. It is the white liquid glue which dries clear. I believe it is known as Elmer's Glue in USA.

This turned out cute. I love doing the same on ordinary clay pots. Makes them a lot more interesting.

I love doing this sort of thing. Once dry I sprayed my things with a high gloss 505 glue. Yours is stunning, well done Sue. Love Chris
