I get lots of help from my personal Blog editor when creating new blogs! Mickey is my greatest fan and is riveted by every word I write! I just want to take this opportunity to thank him for all his support and interest! (Do not try this at home... Mickey is specially trained and is ever the professional cursor watcher!)

Creating a Mosaic Mirror

When I start a mosaic project I usually have a general idea of a final outcome. I like a floral motif and for the pictured project, I  used the pretty pastel peach/pink color for the main flowers.  

Symmetry can be nice, so I often try to create somewhat of a mirror image although not exactly. It is more interesting when there are variances which is more reflective of nature. The flower sizes are varied as are the pieces of glass . Many of the pieces are scraps from other projects but on occasion it's better to cut pieces to get a certain color or shape (I did this for the aqua in the corner). 

 Creating a diagonal flow to the design has more interest for me. The bottom left of this mirror is reflected in the upper right . As far as color choice goes I usually have a couple of main colors in mind (such as the peach and aqua) then add the greens because it is a floral pattern and then add a touch of some other colors. There is a bit a lilac, yellow and iridescent red in this mirror.
