"Bluebonnet Mosaic Tile"

"Texas Mosaic Bluebonnets" was created on a regular 4" inch square ceramic tile. The shiny white surface presents amazing possibilities. I used good glass nippers to cut the different glass colors by hand, gluing them down along the design sections as I went. Next, it was time to grout.

"Texas Mosaic Bluebonnets" also features a delicate border of clear glass beads I've saved in a jewelry box for years. When I tried them against the glass tiles, it was just the accent I was looking for. Now grouted and polished, each piece of glass helps to complete the design.
