I think I got a perfect sailboat cut for this mosaic. I wanted to make the sailboat first - for some silly reason it felt like if I got that part right the rest would fall right into place... Don't know if that's going to happen, but the sailboat is exactly what I saw in my mind's eye...
You cannot really tell from this photo, but the glass is the thick Italian smalti and I chipped the edges after cutting the shape. I'm really pleased with it.
After that small success I thought I'd try doing some of the water. It's made up of opaque and transparent green, blue and purple glass that I got at
Kokomo Opalescent Glass when Wes & I went on a road trip this past summer.
