green glass

"What is green? The grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? Clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!"
  -- Christina Georgina Rossetti

Hundreds of glass gems glued in row upon row. C_lindsay_obermeyer_green_baubles_3

It sounds tedious, but I am having fun.  My first large experiment into mosaics is looking good.  I'm pleased with how it sparkles.   I'm reminded of my early work.

Landscapes done in bead embroidery.  Was that really 20 years ago?

What I'm loving about the mosaic work is the ability to work quickly on a much larger scale.
