wordsmithy Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Should have put this in attention-seeking but this is the first mosaic I've been working on in my 'Mind' art class. Still needs to be grouted but I'll have it finished by Friday! What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsmithy Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Very nice. It's lovely well done. I want to see the finished product now !! Thanks , I'm trying to decide whether or not to grout it with two colours or one i.e. white for the wolf and black/grey for the background. it's awesome! love the moon and the way you capture the turn of the horses head with such simple pieces - not easy, show us the finished piece when ready xx Thanks, but the horse is a black wolf howling at a sunset moon. I had no idea the dog looked like a horse, but looking at it now, it kind of does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsimeg Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Looks like a howling wolf to me alright ! Personally I would use black or grey grout for wolf and white for background but you do what you feel is right....It's your creation xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see what the art tutor advises. Are you a fan of mosaic-making? Oh I love it!! I thought it was a wolf, if that helps. It does indeed.

piercepd Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 And it's nice and interesting. You know..... there's nothing worse than.... wait for it.... a dull one..... or, as one might say....... a prosaic mosaic *sniggers self sick* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsimeg Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi sk no I've never tried mosaics I'm just going on how I feel the wolf would look with white grout. I'm not sure it would be ok. I work with tiling and an opposite colour grout would not fit but hey this is different like u say see what tutor suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsmithy Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Grouted and attempted to clean it up but because of this wet and cold weather its still a bit messy (don't want to dislodge too many tiles). It will definitely be cleaned up when the art class starts again (7th Feb). What's your take on it? Reminds me of stained glass. By the way the art tutor suggested that I grout in black because it'll create a bigger contrast and make the colours stand out more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalissa Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 durr, sorry i got it wrong.. i can see quite obviously now that it is a wolf, and i think it's great, truly, didn't know you could get black grout, i like that. i made a mosaic once but it was just a really simple flower shape nowhere near as arty as this, xx lali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
