Latest Batch of Garden Stones

Just finished these up today.  They range from about 6" across to 13" across (the koi).  They are weatherproof and meant to grace your flower beds.

Second Dragonfly Done

About these GOG mosaics, it's difficult to choose which view is best.  In a window, the translucent stained glass is beautiful, but you lose some details.  For example, the dragonfly body is a long jewelry piece of emeralds.  With the light coming from in front, you can see it, but with the light behind it, you can't.  So it's a tradeoff.

I'm working on a new mirror called It's Hip to Be Square (inspired by one of my favorite energetic entertainers, Huey Lewis and the News).  It's square with a nice wide frame and the mosaic will be a collection of 12 years of square jewelry, mostly earrings, supplemented by mini and 3/4" tiles.  All color mix, only theme is Square.  I've been hoarding squares for all these years and I'm letting go of them all at once.  Next to go, my hoard of shells.  I've a beautiful mahogany cigar box, covered in shells, with an antique rectangle tile featuring a shell as a focal point.  

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.
