Mirror, ready for grouting. The lighter color glass is a creme color irredescent glass that shows splashes of green and pink when it hits the light.

Under the mirror, above the blue glob, I'm putting a glass flower. Ya know, the ones with the glass stem? I figured out how to get the stem off and save the flower to mount. I'm sure it would be easier if I had a saw, (hint to santa).

I won't be attaching it until the whole piece is grouted, which I hope to have done later today.

    Bama, that is BEAUTIFUL! I love all the things going on there, the swirls, the colors, the different shapes.

    What size is that? And is that MDF?

  • 18 years ago

    What a beautiful design!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Very Nice!
    The swirlies remind me of wrought iron

    Grouted today and glued in the flower. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
    It's on a 12" square of MDF. I used my usual gray grout. I like the way it makes the colors POP!. I used a piece of wire to make a "template" for my swirls. That's the only way I could get them to look alike. Yep, OCD was in full force on that one!
    Thanks for the comments yall!

  • 18 years ago

    SUPER pretty! Thanks for sharing your swirly technique! Looking forward to the finished pic!

    Hey - another thing I've learned on the forum - wire to shape the swirls. I LOVE this place. On my d.r. serving bar, I used a stencil. Anxious to see it grouted.

  • 18 years ago

    BAMA, I LOVE your style! Very appealing mirror! So do you sell these, or do you just have your home decorated with mirrors all over??

  • 18 years ago

    Mirror finished.
    I am doing things now to sell. I want to either do craft shows, or etsy. Since we moved here, I haven't found a job, so this is keeping me from going totally insane!
    I will post a short tutorial on how to cut the flowers later today.
    Thanks again yall!

    That is so prettey!!!! You did a really great job on it!!! I love the color combos. Thanks for the tip on the wire. I will remember and use that one!!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Sorry! Here's a better picture, with the wire template I used.

    OOOOOOOOh PRETTY!!!!

    anyone want to start a pool on how long before it makes it to the wordpress blog?

    ROTFL

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, how lovely! The flower is delightful. So beautiful - the whole thing. Workmanship is superb. Yep - NT - won't be long to hit the big time.

  • 18 years ago

    BAMA, that is SO beautiful! I really like your color choices and design. How many more pieces to go?

    BTW, did you check out the SAMA conference workshops? There is one specifically targetting mosaikers who want to do the craft show circuits!

  • 18 years ago

    Beautiful!!
    Bama, the SAMA conference could be a "business expense" if you want to start seeling stuff.

    NT no way I'd take that bet ( ok, I get 1 pm thursday LOL)
