Find a sturdy pot or skillet. Preferrably one that does not dent or bend. Draw out a face with a sharpie. You can erase by scrubbing the pot with comet. Cut stained glass into small uniform squares, or buy pre cut tiles at a hobby store. I use E-600 glue. Attach whatever you choose for the ears before gluing the tiles on. Put small amount of glue on each tile and off you go. I usually start on the eyes first. Use you imagination for the hair, I have used nails, coiled wire, marbles, Leave about less than 1/4 inch between the tiles. You need a place for the grout to go. I find broken coffee cup handles for ears, I have cut the bowl part of a wooden spoon in half as well for the ears. These should be attached very well and left to dry over night. Once the whole pot is covered with tiles and marbles, wire ect.... Mix the grout. There is pre mixed grout, but I find the dry to be less expensive and lasts a long time. Cover all areas with the grout. Let it set up but dont wait too long. It is impossible to remove grout once it is completely dry. DO not be tempted to just put this under the sink to rinse off. 1). Your sink will be forever stopped up with dried grout. 2) All of the grout will wash away. Just take yout time and do it by hand. Once all of the grout is wiped off of the surface of the tiles. let it dry for several hours. CHeck on it early on to see if there is a haze on the glass tiles. Just buff this off lightly. Once dry admire your work and add any other decoration such as jewelry ect. If you choose to have eye lashes, make sure to leave room for them to be attatched. Do not put grout where you will attach eye lashes until you attach the eye lashes first. Grout all of the pot before attaching the wire Then add the wire eye lashes to the un grouted area you left for the eye lashes to be. If you even choose to have them. Once you glue these on, grout them once dry. The grout helps to stablize them. I have glued beads on at the eyelash area with the bead holes up. then inserted a wire for lashes. Use your imagination. It takes a long time. A pot generally takes me several weeks, but I find it relaxing. Like a jigsaw puzzle that you can make the pieces fit.Find a sturdy pot or skillet.
