Jack's Whale Mosaic

I sent Kali her mosaic with her initial in it for her birthday. Her brother, Jackson, wants one with his initial. So, I have just finished Jack's mosaic.

I made it with beads except for his initial which is a charm. This picture frame is a miniature 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". I have the most adorable grand kids in the world (yes, I know every grandmother says this, but in this case it's true). I will be creating mosaics with glass & grout for them with their names in them to give them when their father feel they are old enough to be careful and not cut their fingers on the glass. The names will be worked into the mosaics in some interesting way, but I haven't gotten that far into their creation since there are other mosaics waiting to be made first.

Over the Hump!

One-half is completed and the other is only a few weeks away from being done. I am so glad because my mind has started to move onto the next mosaic. I cannot wait to be working in pastels again, because I have decided to mosaic the butterfly substrate in light blues, pinks, lavenders, and whites. Oh, I just remembered I have to go all around the sides of this mosaic with glass before I am done. Then I will grout it.

This picture of the mosaic is very muddy, but I will take a much clearer photo when I am done. The mosaic is disjointed looking now, but after it is grouted it will look more cohesive. At least that is the hope.
