Inch by inch

In the studio. 

Moving right along, as only a mosaic can progress, inch by inch. Every now and then, and at the end of a session, I step back to take a look at the color blending and the andamento. In this photo, part two of a donor wall for ABVI, Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
What you see is part of a fourteen foot wide abstracted leaf being created as a smalti (glass tesserae made in Italy) mosaic. It will hang over the donor glass panels which were installed last week. The full design is shown in the upper right corner. Follow the progress here.
