Tesserae Tuesday

I'm excited to share the sun I was working on recently and had to put aside. I had run out of the tiles I needed to finished it and therefore had to wait for the glass tiles to arrive. Now that I have them, I can finish!

See those blank spots? That's all that's left to complete. Really happy to have these tiles back in my rotation once more. I love iridescent stained glass!

That's all I have for this time. I really can't wait to get this pretty sun grouted and listed on Etsy!

WIP Wednesday

Yesterday I mentioned I'd be filling in this sun with yellow glass. I've since changed my mind. I'll be using orange instead. It seems to flow better for me. I like to think that the eye follows a certain pattern, color or shape. In this instance, it seems to blend better with orange.

No worries. The yellow will definitely get used in something else.

Here is the final choices for this sun. The small brown glass dots, iridescent brown and tan and orange. I like it!

Honestly yesterday was a little too warm for me to work at the table. I am sure once summer arrives for good, I'll get used to it, but it was slightly uncomfortable in my space until the sun disappeared from the sky. I might have to start working at night, which I can do easily enough. And yes, I DO have an air conditioner in and running. It wasn't even as hot as it gets during the summer, but it was warmer than I'm used to, so I took the day to acclimate.

More fun to come as the weeks go on. It's always fun being an artist in the attic! :)

Tesserae Tuesday

I started working on a mosaic yesterday. After doing some fixing up and rephotographing a few mosaics I've had listed on Etsy, I decided I needed to do something new. I needed something semi-quick because complicated isn't where my head is at this time. What's better than a mosaic sun?!

A few of the bags were put away and not used for this sun, but I will say the colors I've chosen are making me happy so far and the design just flowed from head to hand to sun.

I love iridescent glass. The sparkle and shine that happens when light hits it, is remarkable. The only color not yet added is the yellow which will go in the spaces near the ball chain. This will be a quick one and will be ready for the "to be grouted" pile by the end of the week.

I'll share more tomorrow for WIP Wednesday.
