Tesserae Tuesday

Give the Devil His Due Skull

The phrase "give the devil his due" originated in a play written by Shakespeare. I think it fits well as the title for this mosaic.


When I was creating it, I was getting cut by the mirror. A lot. My DNA is definitely on this piece. As I was treating my fingers and wrapping them up, I said: "Damn the devil!" and immediately the title for this mosaic became clear. He has gotten my blood for this one. For sure.




I made the skull in hand cut broken mirror. His horns were done in stained glass called Van Gogh glass along with stained glass in black, grey, white and red.

Another Creative Week

Some weeks are so prolific at the art tables, I am just blown away by the end of the week. No mosaic work this past week but other than that...
