Mosaic glass "Iris and the bees"

Hallo,

   Finished off this mosaic this last week and did the resin for it on saturday. 

   I had been working on this one for a bit over a month and 1/2. 

   Not much to tell - cut glass into small pieces and put them back together. I used some precut hexagons for the beehive and some small little glass bee beads  to decorate the flowers and beehive.

  I used an old glass door from a cupboard. I only have to decide how to hang it now.

    All for today - Take Care

       Tera

Hallo,
   A small 6 by 6 inch painting to show you today. Encaustic wax with oil sticks for the background and then encaustic and hot pen stylus for the details on the rocks and the tree.
  The rocks were done with a small iron shaped attachment  and the tree with the slotted stylus. 
  I am liking that I can get a bit more detailed with the encaustic with the stylus - hadnt used them much until recently so I decided to do a batch of small paintings to get a better feel for it.
   Have a great day!!!
Take Care
