Sun in a Window

I like making sun mosaics. This one is peeking through from the top corner of a recycled window. I am planning to use the blue shell mica chips for the background, but might add some blue stained glass around the top and far left edges for definition.

Recycled window, approximately 13″ x 30″.

Background sky glass added around the top/left edges.

I cut the “sky” glass for the top and left edges around the sun, but am still deciding if I like it. The glass is beautiful, but I feel like the stripes might be too strong. Overall I like it so far, but I haven’t glued the pieces in place just in case.

8 Seasons done!

Wrapped up my “8 Seasons” set project today. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. Eight panels (each approximately 6″ square). Two for each season (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter). These will be sold with the display stand as a set for $400.

Resin poured!

Today I was able to pour the resin on the Sunflower, Spring Flowers (Delphinium / Grape Hyacinth inspired), Acorns and Snowman panels. I forgot to use the masking tape on the undersides, so there was a lot of tending to the drips to take care of for these. Looking forward to seeing how the turn out in the next day or two!

Acorns

I needed one more panel to complete the set of eight, so I made a second Autumn themed one with some acorns and leaves. Tomorrow I should be able to pour the resin on the flowers, snowman and acorns all at once.

More than Four Seasons

Some friends and family opined that my Seahorse panel for this set was more summer-y than spring-y, so I set out to make some other options to round out the seasons. Today I started a sunflower, a snowman, and spring flower panels. I still have to decide what the flowers themselves will look like for the spring flowers panel.
