Even though I have returned to making mosaics with glass, the buttons still seem to creep in! this mermaid was just crying out for buttons on her tail and as I had some lovely lime and jade buttons, I went for it and gave her an interesting buttony tail. I also used a darker glass for her skin.
I love making fairies, especially this one as her hair gives rise to so many possibilities. I started off with one where I cut circles of glass. The next one had glass nuggets for her hair and, with buttons being a feature at the moment, I just had to do this one with button hair. I was inspired by another crafter I know who has lovely curly hair in a pale auburn colour, so decided to try and re-create her hair for this little fairy. I hope she doesn't mind!
Very very very very lovely! There is no getting away from it, I think buttons really suit your art and they just wouldn't be the same using any other material..fantastic!

Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love all your mosaics, if only I made more on my products - I'd be buying loads of yours and have them all over the house! Especially for my daughter :)
