Crane of Gold

Beautiful crane that is on my front porch. The substrate is Hardibacher. The sun was shining on the left side of the piece. There are more pictures of the crane posted in older posts of the blog. Dichroic jewels, old mirror (etched), stained glass, tile, and smalti, smalti clear, smalti luminescent, and three different types of gold smalti.

Creative Growth Birthbath

This birdbath piece is a really fun mosaic. It is made from tile from Creative Growth, a non-profit art program for developmentally challenged adults. The facility is in Oakland, and I was fortunate to buy these beautiful and creative tiles. The birdbath is about three feet tall and the bath is deep. Materials: Tiles, glass beads, and different types of mirror. Three different colors of grout - cherry (self-mixed), green - dark, and light. All grouts have a little of my own color touch:) The base is solid disadvantaged concrete - lovely cleaned and recycled for beauty.

Jewels Birdbath

Birdbath - dichroic jewels, mirror, stained glass, and van gough glass. About two and one-half feet tall. Gorgeous! Pictures do not do justice to the piece.

All Dressed Up and No Place to Go
