Some mosaics

I've been making mosaics like a mad woman. Okay, not really a MAD woman. I'm still bathing regularly, I sleep fairly regular hours and I interrupt my schedule to watch "So You Think You Can Dance." But otherwise? MAD WOMAN.

I found myself inadvertently participating in an art fair, which is coming up this weekend. I know, it seems as though the word "inadvertently" doesn't really seem appropriate, but trust me, when I started out I had no idea I would have a table in this art fair. So I've been making some small mosaics. These are just little tidbit mosaics. Something to hang in a tiny little space where the light will hit it just right.

I loved the confetti icing so much I plan to do many more of these. This is approximately 6x4 inches.

Once I did the cupcakes, the pie seemed like a natural progression. This one is approximately 9x6 inches. I'll be doing more of these as well. It seems that, exactly like the model, one slice will never be enough.



This little guy is...well, I'm not really sure what he is, but I think he has a sweet expression. I started doing these mosaics with the little painted moon faces a few years ago and they are always popular. This one is roughly 4x6 inches.

There are more but I'll save them for later.
