Fishy!

Okay it's been a while since I started my glass mosaic class and we have been learning a lot.
I drew my fish design trying to keep things simple and fun and to degree it has been, but there have been challenges on the way too.
I had know clear picture in my head how I was going to tackle the original design, apart from that I wanted it to be colourful and fun, and not orange. Choosing the colours was more difficult than I thought, I wanted I wanted them different but to still compliment each other and bring life to the piece. I am happy with the results so far.
Here is how things have progressed.





I thought the smaller pieces would be the hardest, but it turned out to be the fins, because of the variation of color in them caused the glass to be more fragile.
Hopefully next week I will be filling the background and then it's just a matter of grouting!
