The Tower of Now waits for my return

 I mentioned in my last post that I'd share photos of The Tower of Now because I've been looking at it every day since we've moved. It's sitting on my blanket chest wrapped in star lights.

Far from completed and yet complete enough to give me what I need these days: words of wisdom. 

I really can't wait to get back into working on this but right now because the new studio aka garage isn't yet set up for working, I'm enjoying it as it is. Here's a photo of the studio's work-in-progress.

And a short video of my heavenly mess can be found on Instagram.

Here are the rest of the photos I've taken recently. Enjoy the journey.

WIP Wednesday - The Tower of Now and a Gazing Ball

More progress was done with the tower but only to grout what I had finished so far. I had extra grout left over from grouting the Cornflower Sun and the Patchwork Peace Sign and didn't want to waste it.

I'm working on taking good photos to list the sun and peace sign. When I do, I'll share the listings once they're available.

Up next, on the table this week, is a gazing ball. This has a heart, a flower and a peace sign drawn on it. So far, the heart is the only thing finished.

Hopefully it won't be long before this one is in the grout pile.

WIP Wednesday - The Tower of Now and Cornflower Sun

 I didn't post on Tuesday because I didn't have anything new, tess-wise, to show or share. But today, I have two works-in-progress mosaics to share, so hopefully that makes up for it.

First, the tower. It is coming along very slowly. The muse seems to want me to really take my time with it. I always listen to the muse.

 

These shots above are of the roof sides. One has the sun, the other the moon with swirling clouds on both sides. The sections that need filling in will be done so with dish tiles.

The newest mosaic being worked on is Cornflower Sun.

Oh my how I love this. Iridescent glass is mostly used on this one. The stained glass center in yellow is not but the rest of it, shines beautifully in natural light. I dig it! This is taking no time at all to complete. I did what you see above in 2 sittings, approximately 2-1/2 hours total so far.
