This is my latest mosaic portrait. Who can guess who it's supposed to be? View attachment 35340

Ole' blue eyes, John?

Ha Ha Phil, now that I look at it again it does look a bit like a young Frank. Stewart got right, its supposed to be Wayne Rooney.

This is a little date sensitive commission I just finished today, working on it alongside another commission to be finished soon. It's a request all the way from the USA, via my website, hugely flattering considering the amazing work done in America. And yes, he wanted it posting installed on the rock, didn't care that the shipping will be around £150.... I quite like the way those two have turned out, a metaphor for a couple. Daylight was lousy for picture taking, he opted for the LPT coulour enhancing sealer option, the one in the middle of the sample stone, the sealer on the left is just with stone oil, the sealer on the right stone oil followed by sealer, much too dark IMO and I am glad he just wanted a faint sealer look. The stone oil however I can tell would be fabulous on black rock.. nice to have it in, ordered it from PHG up Dave's way..

Real nice work Gisela, as always.

Yes, Dave, that's the one - the oil would make it too dark I reckon, and the customer whom I sent the same photos earlier replies asking for the faint sealer, not the invisible one, so the stone enhancing one will be it. It doesn't look like it should have taken me days, should it... two days just smoothing and sculpting...

Very nice and tidy work MG. When I had a break from tiling a few years ago i started to miss it so I worked on a few mosaics and ended up being at it for a few years.Like you wasnt long before i had a few requests and on it went. As you well know the hours pass like seconds before you know it. I think I might dig up some pics most of my work is south pacific orientated and NZ birds etc.

Yes, Bobby, I would love to see you work and we all like pics here!! Let's have them!! :hurray: It's a limitless art which needs artisan abilities, and an eye for detail and perfectionism, all things good tilers need, too! There are (relatively speaking) as many bad mosaicists who cut corners out there as there are bad tilers, but some are outstanding, and like all outstanding tilers here I strive to perfection all the time, forever trying to improve and expand my abilities. In the end the customer determines what they like, but I determine the quality, and that's what turns me on and what makes the end result happen every time.... and nobody ever knows the hours that go into it unless they do it for themselves.
