OK, here is my second attempt at mosaic…I have to say I am much happier with this one. I made the individual tiles a little bit larger, placed them closer together and chose colors that have a bit more contrast I think. I also used black grout this time to accent the colors and keep the piece kind of dark and jewel toned. I just found a really cool frame at Michael’s today I want to try with it as well. It is a 12×12 shadowbox frame made out of pine wood that can be painted however you like, only $7.99! I am thinking just a black frame would be nice, but not 100% sure yet. I just ordered some new glass to try out next. I love the Smalti, but I have to say it is kind of pricey. I have not tried any of the others yet so I figured I should experiment a little. I ordered stained glass this time because I like the colors available…thanks for stopping by to take a look and I would love to here your feedback!

Hi Jill!

Emmitt and I have an award for you on our blog today.
Beautiful Jill! I mostly use stained glass and there are a ton of colors available! Great job!
Jill! you are on to something!!! I like the black grout too. I think you found yet another calling! Great job!!
FAN-TAS-TIC!! I LOVE it!! Just beautiful Jill.
FYI: I am developing feedback to your email today and will send it to you before days-end! With a little bit of tweaking I think you have some great options.
OMG this is AWESOME. Love love love it! The black grout looks incredible.
I find framing mosaics a huge challenge. I have had a few professionally framed in brushed aluminum , but that gets expensive. I would love to see your after shot once framed:)
I simply love your dog art! Very nice work.
Hey…it’s the Dogs Rule Mascot! Beautiful job, Jill…you are an instant success at doing mosaics. Really love your last set of paintings too. That first one of the dog with the flower is amazing.
