More Fish

Yvonne Yaar-Sharkey has extended the deadline of the Toms River fish mural to August 30 so I made three little 2-inch fish on mesh and will mail them Monday.

Fishy

Here's a little fish on mesh, on its way to Toms River, NJ today. He will become part of a larger mosaic. I'm attached to this little fish and sorry to see him go ... All stained glass except the eye, which was the center of a porcelain saucer, quite thin, so I cut two circles and glued them together with MAC glue, after first scruffing up the finish on the bottom one so they would adhere better. Now the eye is the same height as the stained glass.  The fins are gorgeous iridescent but the picture didn't capture it. I love this little fishy; I call him "Golden Eye."

Fish Mosaic done

Almost done . . .

This dragonfly is going so well, I will finish this morning.  I love it.  During the night I thought of the next mosaic I'm going to do on Plexiglass - a school of fish, all blue and green.

The first photo shows the framed canvas turned over, Wedi installed, mosaic applied onto the Wedi.  I liked working with this canvas because it is unusually deep so I can use all levels of tesserae.  Note the drapery glass.  The blue glass in the upper right is rolled back onto itself, and makes me think of a wave.  The second photo shows the stained glass frame added.  Next I will grout using sand-colored sanded grout.
