WIP Wednesday

Do you remember where the Magical Mosaic Unicorn began?

From a coloring page drawing, I transferred the design onto a board and began to build.

 Using stained glass, broken juice glass pieces, mirror, ball chain, the mosaic started to come together.

After grouting in white, I thought she needed something but I wasn't sure what.

Although I loved how she looked, she blended in too much with the background.

The final decision was to paint the unicorn in purple and sprinkle her in glitter.

The Magical Unicorn was gifted a few days ago to the little girl I made it for (who happens to be in the house at the moment) and she loves it. I neglected to get a photo of her with it, but maybe I will in the future.

The unicorn I shared last Wednesday has been completed except for grouting. I'm thrilled with how it looks.

So filled with magic!! I'll share the final results next week. I plan to grout this weekend.

WIP Wednesday

Working on this unicorn is almost life altering. This is a true magical adventure.

I really enjoy my Zen time with mosaics. They are the best way I have to stay creative. When I decided to make this mosaic, I knew it was going to be fun but slightly difficult. The idea of making a magical creature became exciting and I knew whatever happens it'll be fun!

So far, the only thing I had a little trouble with was the mane. I ultimately used ball chain to help with direction and give it an outline of sorts.

Here's the progress to date.

Working on the unicorn body, I knew it had to be colorful. The end result was to use glass and mirror.

At this point, the pink fill in started to look like a rainbow. I thought I might go with that but the muse said no, continue filling it all in with pink.

When I stopped working on this for the night, I realized there really was magic happening here. Can you see the pink silhouette of a horse around the unicorn? How cool is that?!

Once the entire background is filled in, I plan to grout in white. I think for fun I'll paint the unicorn in pink with glitter in it.
