It's been a while since I've posted here but I've been busy with many other commitments. Unfortunately this has mean I have unable to engage in any mosaic activity until very recently.
The mosaic seen here is my Yin Yang mosaic. I began this one in 2010! Just got round to completing it.
I did this on exterior foamboard like a similar seen below:
For the Yin Yang mosaic I used different methods to bring this piece to life. I used various shades of blue tiles to add a 3D element to the design. I also used three different shades of grout to pick out the individual elements of the piece. It was very complicated trying to make sure I was using the right shades as I'd bought the blue tiles from a local DIY store where all the shades are mixed up on one mesh.
This is the first mosaic I have completed in 2011. I am working on others right that I hope to be able to complete as soon as I can.
As this blog hasn't been updated in a while, here are a selection of other mosaics I completed in 2010:
This is the Sun Vase. A complicated piece but not as fiddly as the cat I did earlier.
The back of the vase I used a more simple design which was a more contemporary version of my condor.
The Eye Vase and below my Eye Bowl:
The Eye Bowl is actually an MDF bowl which I had to measure carefully to get the eye in its central position.
