mirror maker

Went to drop something off at a friend's house, and she was just startingwork on another mirror-frame. She makes them using shells and stones gathered on beaches round Scotland, but this one is going to consist entirely of blue patterned china crockery fragments.

Younger lad, bored at first, started emptying a jar of whelk, conch and sea anemone shells from Kerrera. He then got caught up by the jigsaw puzzle that is creating the crockery mosaic mirror frame. In the end, he spent an hour on it and had to be physically removed from the house (we were, after all, only dropping in).
