I have been working on a few fun projects this week. I am doing a series of tile "petroglyph" type mosaics, and they look awesome! I haven't done much with ceramic tile in the last few months and my hands can tell! I am redeveloping my callouses and my forearm muscles with my tile nippers! It's fun though. So what if I end up with Pop-eye arms. Or arm, since I am strictly right-handed! I have lots of floor tiles and it's fun to nip away at them!

I started a small experimental piece the day before yesterday, wanting to see if I could manage to convey sunlight on a horse in a small image. The smaller the image the harder shading becomes since the glass pieces tend to get tinier and tinier. This glass horse mosaic is 8" inches in diameter. ($65) I finished the horse and the background and grouted it yesterday. Then I entered it in the county fair this morning! (Not because I think it is necessarily one of my best pieces, but because it is small and new.) I also entered the glass transom "Mountain Morning" as well as the two petroglyph horses. The horses are for display only, but at least mosaics will get a showing.
