A Couple Beaded Mosaics

I made these two little guys for Christmas gifts for my husband and son. They were little wooden items I got from Michaels that I covered with seed beads and millefiori and then grouted. They're pretty tiny (the penguin is only an inch and a half high) so they were tricky to handle. I then crocheted them a couple little scarves to stay warm!

13th mosaic grouted for children's book

 Here's a couple of details from the 13th mosaic for my book.  I mentioned before I have put many things in the book to personalize it to my family.  All of the above are Christmas decorations we have collected over the years.  The penguin is a stuffed penguin given to my son, who has always loved penguins.  The snowman my son made in 4th grade.  And the cat is an ornament my mother gave to me after my childhood cat, Spotty, died.
