| Polynesian Mermaid with Mirror |
One of these days I'll figure out how to get the photos to go where I want them to go in blogger. In the meantime they are where they are.
I have recently cut out some forms with jigsaw and 1/8" plywood. I have one owl and two mermaids. I have patterns for a seahorse, lamb, cow, fish, girl, boy, chicken, and can make about anything that doesn't have an intricate cut. (These would require a scroll saw, which I do not posess).
I finished the two mermaids with stained glass bits and 4" round mirror. The owl I will do with vintage papers collage and paint. I wanted to demonstrate some versatility with the forms in hopes of creating some kits for those who are somewhat artistically challenged but still love to create. I may put a kit together for a give away but am not sure what to start with.
Any input would be appreciated. I will put up the photo of the completed owl when it is finished. My favorite is the brown and teal mermaid. Isn't she pretty?

Hi Janine, The pieces ar art glass. Would you have an interest in precut forms for your mosaics? I'm wondering if I should offer them in my new supply store.
Your mermaids are lovely!
so that's how it's done. i've always wanted to try mosaics but was a little afraid. Thanks for inspiring me.

These are really neat! Love the colorful glass, and the mirrors are a cute idea.

Hi! I just stumbled upon your work and blog from a serendipitous flickr link.
I like the brown and teal mermaid also! And I'd think my 6 year old would probably like something like that for her room. I might buy a kit, if the price were right. But shipping something like this would be expensive, wouldn't it?
