Just
the usual tools – glass scorer, Leponitt cutters of course, and scoring
pliers (can’t tell you how many times I had the things upside down and
couldn’t figure out why the glass wasn’t snapping – lots of senior moments
there). |

No children
assisted me as we do not have children. However, Chris’s two young nephews
Gregory and James (13 and 12) watched me for a while and I asked if they
would like to try mosaic. Their response was most enthusiastic so I set them
up in the studio. I did give them the option of doing their pieces on mesh
but they preferred to make them as wall hangings for home. We drilled holes
into ceramic tiles and strung picture wire through the holes before they
started so their finished pieces could be hung and they had a great time
gluing down ceramic tile chattering away to themselves. It was great company
while I worked on my piece. A couple days later we grouted their masterpieces
and it was satisfying for me to see their faces light up at the change grout
can make to a mosaic. I regret not taking pictures of the pieces as they were
very good for a first try. |

are so wonderfully uninhibited with their art and creativity. |

As
there are a few that I have done it’s not possible really to say how long
they took altogether. One budgie took around
3-4 hours probably (that’s with tea breaks of course). |

packaging up. |

Carolyn - ? WAY too long; much time was spent doubting
myself and worrying about whether Terri would ever recognize Malina, if she
would remember her, if it would matter, if I was ruining Malina's splendid
face, and taking out and redoing each part probably at least three
times...all in all, I started in early November and finished in late January.
There were weeks I didn't work on it at all because I wasn't sure I could do
it justice. Anna - About five days. |

1st
mosaic, The Australian Pelican was completed over many weeks as this was
my1st glass mosaic. Many hrs
converting my photo to a line drawing then scale up by drawing on a Grid,
found the drawing wasn’t exactly suited to the tesserae but I
continued gluing tile to the mesh & correcting the design as it
progressed. One color unavailable so discovered glass to complete the beak
& smalti to convey some kind of detail to the eye. 2nd
project The Ulysses butterfly only took a weekend to glue & a few hrs to
design a template 3rd
mosaic The Emerald Tree Boa. Designed with a book on how to draw animals, a
few hrs to sketch & enlarge. My photo from |

I had the
radio on all of the time (lots of 60’s and 70’s music) as I find the mix of
music is far better than having to listen to just one CD all of the time. |
