The 3 frogs are outstanding! I was really impressed by the painting of the clouds too until it dawned on me they were morrors and you'd taken the pictures outside pps:

Yes, the three frogs, they are so good!! Mosaics rock...

Thanks for all your wonderful and encouraging comments everyone. Sometimes i get to close to my work and forget to see it for what it is and end up not really appreciating how good they are. My wife tells me they are really good and that i'm just too fussy, so its good to recieve feedback from people that dont know me so well. So once again thanks guys and girls.
Oh and MG you are right i really should start something new and all this encouragement has motivated me so my next one will be a portrait of my wifes cat it will be a belated 25th wedding anniversary present which we will be celebrating next tuesday.:yikes: I'll put up a pic as soon as it is completed.

And i really have to comment on the quality of work that you guys a producing, just absolutely superb and a real pleasure to look at. I always look forward to checking out some latest work on this thread, thanks for sharing

Bobby, that's the artist's curse, I feel exactly the same, for ages just seeing the tiniest of imperfections and it also takes me ages to actually finish faffing with any one piece, always yet another bit of grout that needs smoothing, or even taking a bit out again and recutting or replacing it with another. And in one light I am happy, oh it's smooth, and then the next day under different light or with the close-up of the camera, oohh darn it's still not quite smooth enough, usually pretty invisible to the naked eye. I have got into the habit now of taking progress pics and look at it all on my pc as I work, as that gives me a much better overall idea, first seeing it from the distance and then being able to zoom in, almost to a microscopic degree, to see what bits might be tricky for grouting, like glass touching or just being too tight or too wide in relation to other pieces. The camera exaggerates things that may not be visible while working, but it's really helpful.

Looking forward to seeing your next piece, it's nice to see men get into mosaics, too, and each individual has a different style, there is enough space in the world for all of us.. go for it!!
