Leela posted this on the kitchen forum for me (bunnies!) and I wanted to share it with all of you. I wish I had this type of talent. I would love to have this....and a replica of Shades' hallway mosaic in my house!!! : )

    that sure is cute LL!

    yes, Shades wall is stunning! I wouldn't have the patience to do that - or the visual co-ordination either.

    I love the bunny mosaic!

    This tile is the only "grey" element swirling around in the current sea of "grey everything" that I can imagine not only using, but loving.

    I don't mean to offend lovers of all things grey; to each her own, it's just I find grey interiors so depressing - exept for these lovely lapins!

    Not counting the problem that I'd have absolutely no clue as to where to begin - Shades' wall would be even more unattainable for me once it moved into the "climb up and down the ladder" phase.

    She, and all of the glass artists here, are amazing craftspeople!

    oh yep! that'd also do me in. I even avoid my little Rubbermaid 1 step step stool...

    Oh this really is pretty. I am sure most of it is done with a glass saw. I have one and have never used it. Sigh. I NEED to give it a try.

    I am also not a gray fan as I am sure you all know but for some one that still has an ounce of whimsy left in them but still needs gray this will be lovely.

    YES the ladder. UGH. Most of the wall I can reach standing. It is going to be awhile before I get back to the wall. I was working on it to give me relief while hubby was so sick and it was a project I could work on and still be almost in the room with him I was within eye and ear shot of him in his recliner. But now I am working on switching the studio to the guest room and vice versa. and painting the studio while I have things moved out as it needs it so badly. I will start a progress thread soon.

    Ooh, I like it too. I am not a gray fan either, but the bits of blue in it save the day for me. That is some real talent right there. Actually cutting shapes and multiples of the same one would be amazing. I've never done anything like that. It is adorable. LL, do you know what the size of this is and what it is being used for?

    I like it also. It's a water jet cut tile from Ravenna (the company, not the city), so doubtless it's $$$$$.

    So a machine did this, not some very talented person?

    I think it's great. Never heard of a water jet cut tile. Impressive, even if a computer did it.

    Thanks for the explanation. I haven't heard of that before. It's really neat looking. I like it a lot.

    If you search for "water jet mosaics" you'll find a lot of very gorgeous tile for those with deep pockets.

    "Pockets"? What are "pockets" and what does it mean if they are deep? LOL

    I live the skinny-pocket life myself, at least something in this house is "skinny!"
