Ein kaputter Reifen in Belgien am Strassenrand. Davon gibt's echt viele.
A broken tyre on the hard shoulder in Belgium. There are lots of those.
Broken glass. Looks dangerous, or it is that anything broken seems dangerous-- yesterday a boy and a girl jump from the 11th floor of the educational building. Boy died and girl survived. They were once lovers.....
Was this fence broken by a force of nature or a rabid pack of monkeys on a quest of destruction? We may never know.
This is the lower portion of the fork blade that broke. The cable guide is on the left; the trailing edge of the blade.
In the heart of downtown Broken Arrow, the First State Bank Building is now home to the Main Street Tavern.
The Broken Dishes pattern is made into these hot dish pads and each is just over 11" square. They are machine-pieced and machine-quilted, have a layer of reflective material to assist in the heat-keeping effort, and are another work in the Benni Harper Quilt Project. They now have new homes with friends who share my love of Earlene's books.

Here you can see the frame of our broken couch. They collected it today, supposed to have dropped off a replacement, but hopefully we'll get one soon!
Lowes keeps selling me their broken tiles for 5 cents a piece. The plan is to use them to make enough pavers for a backyard patio, but they're really piling up and stressing me out. They're now part of my 2008 resolutions: Make 4 pavers a week. I'm still a little iffy on if I'm going to be adding the concrete to them now too, or if I'll be waiting for that until spring.
****************************************************************************************************
UPDATE ON THIS PROJECT: Here's what this project is all about. Steve and I wanted to put a patio in the backyard around our firepit. We didn't want anything too pristine or "perfect", so we looked into various rocks. However, they can be *very* pricy, so we decided to wait a few years.
Then I asked this wonderful woman at Lowes if she had any broken tiles she'd consider selling me, and ever since she's been calling me every so often with loads of broken floor tiles for 5 cents a piece! At first I planned to just use them for regular mosaics, but there were so many that Steve and I decided to use them for the patio.
We considered pouring a concrete slab and then adhering these, but the biggest thing we can get into our backyard is a wheelbarrow, and just the thought of hauling enough wet concrete for a patio made us exhuasted.
The (current) plan is to break up the tiles even more (or cut them on the wet tile saw) and adhere them to preformed pavers using thinset. After that, I'll use Quikrete vinyl concrete patcher to fill in the gaps and build up empty spaces.
I called the folks at Quikrete and the patcher was what they recommended because of the large blank spaces. It's normally used to patch sidewalks or whatever concrete needs patching, and I also used it on Ethe's top layer: flickr.com/photos/millimomo/sets/72157601597608549/.
Now that I have so many tiles available, I'm thinking about covering the pavers and just leaving small gaps like you would in a traditional mosaic.
Any and all input and thoughts are welcomed. Thanks!
