This is a mosaic that I gave away. I learned a lot making this one. I originally used white grout. Unfortunately, I used red cloths to wipe it down and so the white grout turned pink. Not like a pale pink but like Pepto Bismol pink. Anyway, I learned that watered down black grout is capable of dyeing messed up grout.

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.
