Well THAT cheered me right up! [livejournal.com profile] branwynelf just came by with a mosaic she made for me!

A while back I had given her a big dusty dirty batch of mostly-broken tile. I was heartily relieved to get it out of the side yard, yet she seemed to think SHE should thank ME (imagine!) when taking this pile off my hands.

She used one of the smaller whole tiles as a base for a beautiful glass-mosaic flower, and GAVE it to me! I am so pleased! It's now propped up in a window between the computer and the sewing machine, where I can look at both it and my flower-boxes outside at the same time. The mosaic is a single-stemmed five-petaled flower of deep blues and pale purple. (Some of those blues might actually be black.) It'll keep blooming all through the winter. :-)

Bandwidth theft alert - here's a picture! (biggish.) The background bits are clear, showing the color of the base tile. The lighter petals are more purply than they appear on my monitor.

You're so welcome. Honestly, we helped out each other. I was in a total slump because of the effort and cost of going to get bases to work upon. Now I have many many months worth!

Oh, and if you'd like to share, the (large) image of it is here (http://www.branwyn.org/pics/mosaicstuff/flower1.jpg). The actual tile is about 4" square. :)

We sure did. I had no idea bases were a hurdle for you. Thanks for the image! I added a link in the main post.

Thanks! Er, maybe thanks on behalf of [livejournal.com profile] branwynelf? :-) Anyway, it definitely pulled me out of my gripey pain-induced funk.
