I started a mosaics course in September. One day a week I'm at the course for the whole day. Our first project was a torso and we worked with glass on it. It's not completely finished yet, we're told that we will decorate it later. Although everyone says that it will be my favorite piece in the house when finished, I'm not convinced on that idea at all. Our second project is a clock that we work with natural stones ( marble, granite). We buy the stones as 1cm cubes and cut it to 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 with pliers. I find it very hard to cut them and it takes a lot of time. As I wanted to get over the misery of this cutting process I brought them home. Today I did some cutting and now my right hand trembles even when try to lift up a glass. The stones are in various colors but it's very difficult to differentiate the colors when they're dry. Once wet then you can see which color is what. Saying so I realized that it is quite differentiable in the picture. Anyway we are supposed to varnish them in the end in order to have some color.
