I haven’t been working in stained glass much lately since I have been concentrating on adding more mosaics to my garden wall. I had started this piece during the winter while my son was visiting. But for some reason the small tesserae tiles kept calling to me. I have just completed the owl (finally) and it is now hanging in the window of my breakfast nook.
Actually, I needed to finish the piece because I will be using the bench to layout a commission just received – the mosaic will be 8 feet wide by 4-1/2 feet tall on completion. It is a desert sunset quite unique to the view from my client’s home. All the 3/8” tiles have been ordered – the shipment should arrive within the next week or so. I still have to purchase the 1” glass tiles I use for bordering as well as the thin set and grout but that can wait for now. The main focus of my attention for the foreseeable future will be on building the mosaic mural.
Stay tuned for updates on the progress of this new project.
