Of Muppets and Writers...

I had so much fun working on the mosaic of Will that I decided to continue with the writer theme and make a mosaic of Emily Bronte. So things wouldn't get too serious I thought she could be with Oscar the Grouch, my personal favorite of the pre-Muppet Show muppets. Oh, and they should be winding a hank of yarn. I enjoy knitting, so why shouldn't they?

Since the mosaic is already well underway, I will post the WIP pictures I have taken, trying my best to keep them in some kind of chronological order, beginning with:

Oscar begun

A word of warning: These pictures have been, well, cut off. Please click on each image to see the entire photo. Thank you kindly.

Next, more work on Oscar...

Next, after an impromptu yarn color poll, the finished Oscar:

And the yarn finished. I know the size of the ball of wound yarn is out

of proportion with the amount of yarn left to wind, but we won't think about that...

Now here's something... I've never used stained glass in a mosaic (Wasser excluded) until now. I decided to incorporate some into this piece, as well as unglazed porcelain.

Here is Emily with stained glass-

And with a great leap forward, both figures finished. I decided to make the trash can in linework, I didn't want it to be that important. I have an idea of what I'm going to do for the background...stay tuned.
