Thrift shop frame with nice non-glare glass; I discarded the print and mat and used GE Silicone II to permanently install the glass. Size 16"x20". Stained glass, jewelry (antenna) and glass marbles. The glass for the wings is highly textured. Using MAC glue. I am loving this. Will grout with two different grouts: black for the body of the bee and pale brown for the rest.

Space mosaic - WIP 6-11-11
(left-click on image to enlarge and then left-click again to enlarge further)
Here's what I have on mesh and ready to install, an area about 2.5' x 3'. I estimate that I have about half a cow's worth right now, and next I plan to work on the Earth, Mars, Saturn, and a large comet.
To explain how these pieces will be used: A mosaic on mesh can be trimmed into any shape that's needed. Right now these pieces are 12"x12" squares, but the goal is that, after installation, there will be no hint of individual squares, but rather, the mosaic will be blended into one harmonious whole. A mosaic on mesh can be installed on a flat surface, or onto a moderately curved surface, such as the body of a fiberglass cow for the CowParade. I am toying with the idea of several separate pieces, such as a triptych, and what I am really interested in is stretched canvas, in the shape of 3 triangles, each framed with black metal.
Hand-poured stained glass, Swarovski crystals, vintage costume jewelry, glass beads, pearls, 24K plate rims, pique assiette
