Glass mosaic making

Steps to making my raven glass mosaic:

first I drew a flying raven from a photo, cut a stencil and tested it on newsprint

then I stencilled the raven onto a rice paper monoprint and adhered it onto a wood substrate

next I collaged around the stencilled raven and then cut the glass to glue on top of the entire surface

And the last step is applying the grout (which I coloured with acrylic paint to get the turquoise blue I wanted).

I’m back, finally.

After many weeks of getting my computer fixed, updating my computer, getting it fixed some more, finding out it didn’t really need to get fixed, waiting for a new modem, etc. etc. I am finally back up and running and all up to date, I hope! While wading through all these technical difficulties I have been taking photos of my ongoing art projects, so I’m going to start posting them next…. whew, back to the art!
