The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf Stained Glass Mosaic

I thought that this mosaic would be a really fun one to do because there is so much going on. It was actually really difficult to do though. Not only are there a lot of different characters but there is also an iridescent spiderweb and dark gray lines (to look like cracks in the wall) on the back ground. Fitting everything in proved to be quite irritating and a few mistakes were made because of trying to rush through it. Oddly enough with all of the anger that I had toward this one when making it, it is one of the few that we have hung up and we are quite attached to it. One thing that I really love about this one is that it was made entirely with leftover glass from other projects.

The Marsh King's Daughter Stained Glass Mosaic

This is one of my favorites that I have made. I took my time with it and tried to add a lot of details. I spent a couple of weeks working on it, but all of the narrow lines in her outfit were really fun to do.

In the actual story of The Marsh King's Daughter there were storks bowing to her. When I got my husband to cut the board for this one I forgot to allow for them and so I just added butterflies instead. I personally prefer the butterflies because of the nice colors.

The Nightingale Stained Glass Mosaic

This is one of the first large stained glass mosaics that I have done. There are a few mistakes here and there, but I think for the most part I think it turned out pretty well. I like the story of The Nightingale because it seems to me to teach about having a certain respect for nature and understanding that something as precious as a nightingale can't be replaced with something that is man made.

What you will mainly notice with everything that I make are the bright colors. That is what makes me smile and so almost everything that I make will be a kaleidoscope of colors.
