This is perhaps the most exciting part of the process– its when the piece really comes to life! It also takes a lot of elbow grease….How wonderful to have these helpers!

All Done!
Here is the finished piece…. And the hand prints, after they got fired!
More on the Bathroom Mosaic!
I just finished creating the border for the conch shell mosaic! Just like the shell, its on mesh, broken up into 4 separate pieces. All that’s left now is installation! I can’t wait! I’ll be sure to post a picture of the finished bathroom so you can see how it all comes together.
New Bathroom Mosaic!
After visiting the Getty Villa: Stories in Stone Exhibit featuring masterpieces from the National Museums of Tunisia, with my dear friend Jane Ann Stewart (The brilliant and fantastic production designer from such films as Sideways, Election, & The Family Stone), we decided to create a small and simple mosaic in this style and technique for her bathroom.
Many of those ancient mosaics were of objects and creatures from the natural world, and Jane has a special connection with conch shells (every since she was a little girl), so that’s what I am making for her.
Here is the shell on mesh. I am waiting on some special blue tiles, on back order, that I will incorporate into the background and boarder. We want the blue to connect with the blue in her swimming pool, since this bathroom is just off the pool.
Stay tuned for updates as I complete the piece and install it into her lovely new bathroom!
