“But the love of sisters needs no words. It does not depend on memories, or mementos, or proof. It runs as deep as a heartbeat. It is as ever present a s a pulse.” ― Before We Were Yours
My sister became a U.S. citizen in November and I wanted to mark the date. While I don’t have the skills yet to do something more flattering, I came up with the piece below. My sister has long curly hair and round glasses. I think I have captured her essence, in a fun/funny way. She liked it. She cannot look at it without laughing.
I want to start doing more mosaics at home. I get great ideas and advice at the studio, but I am really interested in what I can come up with without anybody’s input and with the material I have at home.
For the record I adore L., the studio owner. She is the best and does the most amazing things. She has helped my love for mosaics flourish.
I have also finished two other project at the studio, that I will be posting next.

I love this! It’s adorable! Congrats to your sister!!

Congrats to Sis! On a side note, I can imagine your neighbors faces, as they imagine why there is all of this sound of breaking glass coming from your home. 😀

Thank you Rob!
Actually, I am a very conscientious neighbor, so I keep noise to a minimum. Most of the glass was pre-cut. And to cut it is not as noise as it sounds. The problem with the cutting glass and ceramics are all the shards that fly all over the place.
Blessings to you!
