Mosaic #6 for book is done!

Yay! Another mosaic for my book has been completed. I am now almost half way there! This mosaic took about 100 hours in a two month time span. Unfortunately I had many things slowing me down on this one. I'm hoping to pick up the pace on the next ones. It would be so great if I could have it ready to print by next summer! It is doable if I do nothing else, but that is not likely to happen. I had a lot of fun with the millefiori in this mosaic. I browsed Laurel Skye's book, Mosaic Renaissance, for inspiration in cutting the mille in different ways. Very fun! Here are a couple of detail shots. I will be able to show more in mosaic #7 so stay tuned!!

  3. Very cool Christine. More work finished means your a little closer to completing the book. I'm going to have to learn the language of your medium, haha.

  4. Thanks Ron! Yep, one step closer. Can't wait to have the book in my hands. I know you know the feeling. :) The millefiori, by the way, is the little glass flowers and geometrics I use in my work. Thanks for stopping by!
