Mosaic Dragonfly

This was so much fun to do.  The eyes are flat marbles and the red spots are plastic beads from a necklace and the rest is made up of glass tiles.

Gazing Ball

Gold tiles

I was in an art and craft shop and saw this polystyrene ball approximately 6" across and decided to experiment and mosaic it.  I had seen alot of balls mosaic-ed(!) but wasn't sure of the base.

Moving on . . .

I experimented with all sorts of different shapes and sizes, some tiles were ceramic and others glass.  It was such fun.

Grouted and finished

 I was really happy with the way it turned out.  After grouting it was heavy and very solid.  I have now placed near my pond in my garden in Kenya.

The Silver Hand is the Hand of Fatima, or Hamsa, which is the sign of protection against the Evil Eye according to the Islam belief.  The five fingers represent the Pillars of Islam.  The Christians call it the Hand of Mary and the Jews, the Hand of Miriam . . .

Hand of Fatima

I used beads and glass tiles for this.
