M is for Mosaic

I had really hoped to have this piece finished by tonight, but I didn’t make it :( It is almost finished, just a few spots around the edges need to be filled.

It’s working title is ‘Ice Crystal’ and do you remember those Butterfly Paintings back in B is for Butterfly? This is the next stage. Basically I created the butterfly painting in blues, let it dry, cut it up randomly with a pair of scissors, sorted the pieces by tone, painted a small canvas with graduated colour (see below for an in progress shot) and then began semi-randomly putting the pieces together.

I’m quite enthusiastic about this technique and have a few other larger designs in mind.

But for now, not feeling the best (hence the lack of all nighter to finish this), so I’m off to bed.

See my other paper mosaics here.

Have a great weekend.
