A Cutting moment in the Life of a Mosaic Artist!

A video showing one of my favorite unfinished projects, I think I like her so much that i don't want to spoil her, It is almost a year now. I had to cut the glass, which is quite unusual after the project has begun, but the original frame was too weak, and I gave up trying to find a frame large enough. I could get a custom made frame, but that would cost almost as much as the mosaic itself. Cutting glass is easy after practice, but cutting glass when there is already work done on it, can cause the entire project to spit, as learned from past experience :(. I hesitated for months before I actually did this.
These videos was made over a number of weeks.

@crunchygranolastudio Thank you I am glad you like the colours, although I love this piece, but it is very difficult to find the the right colour combos for her dress and wings, I almost wish I had chosen another colour scheme.

All the best to ya!

@MosaicMaiden Aw, I know how you feel. I've been through a lot of dogs with my dad...he is a dog person for sure and it's always sad to lose such innocent and loving beings. That's why I appreciate the time I have with my little pets because they are a blessing. Speedy still lives on through your memories so don't forget about him!!! Thank you for being such a beautiful person yourself :-)
