RE: Mosaic creation - a challenging yet gratifying journey
Holy Moly @osm0sis, this is AMAZING!!! What a hugely ambitious piece and such an incredibly beautiful outcome, I'm so impressed. I really love how you made 9 intimate sections within the larger geometric design, you have an excellent eye. And, it can be so tricky to work with such varied materials but you've done it in a way that looks perfect.
I had to chuckle when you said that you just couldn't face one more step of sealing...I know that feeling so well when it's all you can manage just to finish something that is so much more work than imagined.
And thank you for all of the mentions and dedications...it's a huge honor and gives me a big smile :))))). You've inspired me to see if I can find old photos of my very first mosaics at age 20 which were with mixed old left over tiles and I'll make a post for you about those. xoox
Also, my fav detail is the section for your grandfather with the symbol. Such a sweet thing to honor him and the house coming through him and I like hearing about the 4 symbols he felt a connection with.
Thank you so much Ruth! I'm so happy to have met you here and hope to learn a few mosaic tricks thanks to your posts.
I'd be interested in making a wall mosaic one day but don't know if that's even possible... with gravity adding an extra element of difficulty I presume.
Can't wait to see your very first mosaic piece!!!
