MOSAIC FEATURED: Margo Crane - October 2009 Mosaic Challenge Congrats!

Pedro has been in the family for many years, sitting in various locations in our garden. He is a terra cotta statuette. So he started out heavy! The glass tiles and thinset made him really heavy! Like any dutiful mosaic addict, I am always looking around the house for something, anything, that can be covered in tiles. And so Pedro's make-over began. While I was making him, I became inspired by Marian Shapiro's fabric/kilim pieces and decided to add a serape to the vignette. I wasn't able to make the serape with as much fluidity as I would have liked since about 25 pounds of Pedro would be sitting on top of it. But I still tried to give it some character with some wrinkles and a flip of the corner. He was made with glass tiles, a few beads and glass nuggets, and 3 colors of grout. The fringe on the serape was made with sea spines for a very realistic look."
