Mosaic Monday / WIP

Yesterday I worked up at the Creative Arts Center with my students and I got a lot done on my own project.  They seemed to enjoy having the extra lab time and I enjoyed getting out of my regular work space.  I also was able to get a Teal color study done last week  ... pics below.

As you can see in the above shot of my current robot project I am at the fun stage of adding bling to the surface that will not get grouted. I love working in stained glass and collage, however all stained glass mosaic work has a physical flatness to it that is impossible to escape unless you mix it up with other materials. My goal this year is to discover ways to work with the glass I love and introduce chunkier elements so that my layers start coming forward.
I am really having fun with this fellow!
