Well, here is my latest experiment. My friend bought a bathing suit at Costco and the hanger was a plastic mold of a female. I had my guy fill it with cement and put a hanger on the back and wa'la....i have a torso to mosaic!

I urge all of you that are serious about mosaic art to join CMA (Contemporary Mosaic Art), here is the link.

mosaicsandceramics.ning.com

Sign up for acceptance, they do screen, as it is not a social network site, rather a site for mosaic artists. When prompted to, send photos etc. and you will be accepted. It takes a few days.

You cannot sell unless you are a paying advertiser.
It is a great site for learning and inspiration.

In between commissions and i get a chance to work on my Virgin.

Jan's Butterflies (WIP)

I have been commissioned to do a Bamboo Forest with Butterflies.
The funnest part is inventing the Butterflies.
I kinda feel like Mother Nature herself!
