Mosaic

I've been working on this mosaic the last couple of weeks, since the exhibition has been up. It's pretty much ready to be transported to its new home. Just a little more background to do and when it's been mounted on the wall it will be grouted. You can't really gage the size of this piece from the photo. It's a fair size, 1 x 1.5 metres. The front aloes are ceramic as are some of the leaves and then I've mixed glass and different sizes and types of mosaic tile and ordinary tiles as well as broken antique china to give the piece different textures. Originally there were going to be more sunbirds but it I gradually took them away and settled for one. Any more than this detracted from the aloes.


Thought about tidying this image up but my feet give a sense of scale
