Glass on Glass Mosaic

My late winter project......

I so love mosaic and I am just discovering that it gives you the opportunity (excuse) to KEEP items that might otherwise look like trash to a casual observer. This wine bottle has a cool story. My BFFs and I take a yearly vacation. While in New York we ran into an interesting fella, a charter pilot from Canada that owned part interest in a winery. He sent us a bottle of his wine and we enjoyed it at Shelly's house one evening and called him and all expressed our thanks. It was such a good memory I hated to throw the bottle away and I wanted to make sure it didnt get tossed by accident.

Getting into mosaic

I have been studying the art of mosaic, specifically pique assiette (broken plates and found objects) It is giving me great joy to do the treasure hunting to find the raw materials. Almost as much fun as the actual creation itself. I soooo enjoy designing a my pieces.
