Hi, guys and girls, i had a good search for some pics of some mosaics i've done over the years and thought you might want a look see.
I haven't been into it lately but after digging these up i think i might start something soon. I cut all the tesserae from glazed 150mm ceramic tiles and one inch glass mosaic pieces all on a little rubi t300. Then cut and shaped with nippers.
Most have gone to friends and family some sold, some commissioned and a few i've kept for myself.There are a few around the country that i dont even have photos for as i sometimes forget to take one before they get picked up.
I'd hate to work out how many hours i've spent in total on all the work i've done. Most of the time i'm happy with the result.
The bitter sweet moment is when i've completed one and about to start on another, i think any one who tackles this kind of work would know what i mean.
I haven't tried to compare with anyone else.I dont think you can really, its just that what you produce is really got to be for yourself and nobody else. If in the meantime somebody likes what you produce and its for sale or if a friend or family member shows some delight in it well it's theirs.
Anyway here you go
