Another Mosaic

Everyone has to start somewhere on learning how to make mosaics.  This was one of my first attempts at creating art with glass tiles.  I cut the glass myself.  Each glass piece is about a 1/4 of an inch to 3/8 inch.  This design taught me how much space I would need to make a mosaic pattern on a large scale.  I learned that I had better plan to work larger or I needed to learn to cut the glass smaller.

I cut my own glass because I am generally using scrap glass left over from my husbands stained glass projects.  Buying pre-cut glass is expensive.  However, if you work in a small format, it is probably worth it to buy tiny tiles because they are very aggravating to cut.
