Over the many years Robin and I have been married we have taken some long walks along many railroad tracks with my son and cameras in hand.
Over that time we have found many interesting things along the lines. We had picked up many many pieces of railroad china along the way. The quandry was what does one do with all these pieces?
Well , months ago Robin decided she wanted to make them into some sort of keepsake and came up with this idea. I think she had a fine idea and great exicution so thought I would show it off a little.









Thanks and Happy Birthday Robin !!!!!

A railroad china mosaic! Brilliant! Looks like it will turn out very nicely.

Thanks Ralph , Mike & Robin

Excellent use of those broken bits...4 stars

Nice!
I always walk along tracks here.
I guess the New Haven took better care of their china, I never found one piece.

Very nice!

Just a brilliant idea, very nice. And wish Robin a happy birthday for us here as well.

COOL!! What a great idea for broken bits of railroad china.

A very unusual work of art..Never seen anything quite like it before...


Very nicely done..

If no where else, here, the story of how it came to be, will be preserved with the finished mosaic.
Very creative, very nicely done!

That looks great.

Is that just tile grout you used to hold the china in place?
