My favorite is, Meeting the Aunts" fabulous mosaics, very original. I also do mixed media mosaics, maybe I can send you a pic to your e-mail address. Your website and photos are excellent. Love the detail shots.

I tried my hand at this a few years ago. Lots of shards!!! I used my tumbler to take the edge off the glass. A few hours in the tumbler and the glass was like beach glass. I cut myself less after that!

I can spend a lot of time tripping out on them, I never know how they'll turn out and it's always a treat and a lesson.
