Glittering Shards: New creation...

New creation...

...of one of my favourite creatures, the ever-magical dragonfly.

Here's a little one I knocked out as a practice run for a commission for 3 garden dragonflies which I am about to do.

Not yet grouted (have run out of black, and it has to be black grout to make those colours sing), I love the way stained glass cuts in those vein like ways. Mosaics are made for dragonflies, or is it the other way round?

More work new coming...I have decided to start several pieces at once - slow art like mosaics requires more patience than I have sometimes!

i love artwork of dragonflies- but not real ones so much. for some reason i sort of fear them.

Thanks lovely people. Fortunately Kerri, they don't seem to want to come too near humans! x

Thank you zeynep - and great that you can make them with clay - do you fire and glaze them too?

Looks pretty Concetta. I just started this a.m. working on four pieces at once. How is the start to summer going?
