I needed to make another panel for the other side of my wall, there's nothing like brightening up a brick wall with some colourful mosaics , same kind of flower but different colors and i'm happy with the way it turned out . This is just grouted and im waiting for some drying time before the final polish and then it will be attached to my wall with liquid nails, so I know it will be there forever :)
I've also been trying to sculpt a flower out of chicken wire, ready to have a kind of concrete mix slathered on and then I can mosaic this. Im having a fair bit of trouble, not to mention a thousand cuts up my arm lol I am taking a workshop shortly with a Mosaic Artist that just happens to live less than 15 mins away so i'm really looking forward to learning lots from her, in the meantime I cant help but play
Im so glad I re-discovered this art form, im in my element right about now :)
Really cool Karen - I like the idea of the 3D flower and can't wait to see how it comes out. One of my friends is working on a large community mosaic project that I thought you might like to see. http://www.stumptownartstudio.org/WindowsOnWhitefish.html
