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.
