I just finished this glass and slate mosaic. It is 12" x 16" and is wired to hang on the wall. I am probably going to title it "Vorona," which is the Ukranian word for "crow." JaneRussellMosaics.com

I finished and framed this mosaic today. I used hand-cut glass, glass that I fused, glass frit, slate, tiny glass microspheres, glass stringers, and tinted mortar. This piece was inspired by a photo that I took of lichen growing on a neighbor's fence. 12" x 12". JaneRussellMosaics.com

I’ve been working on a mosaic based on a photo I took of some lichen on a fence but am struggling with the colors and materials. I’m not confident that the scale I’m using to weigh iron oxide powder is accurate. If any one can recommend a reliable scale for very small amounts I’d appreciate it.

I think I’m done with this new piece except for a frame. Tentative title is “California Rain.”

Five newly created pendant necklaces that I will be delivering to a local art gallery. These were made using stone, shell, recycled jewelry, silver, recycled dishes, glass, microspheres, and clay. JaneRussellMosaics.com

Making a little progress on this piece. Stone and hand-cut & fused art glass, in tinted mortar. It was good to get something at least started. JaneRussellMosaics.com

This abstract piece was based on a doodle. It's one of my favorites. It's about 2' across diagonally, is slightly 3D, and is wired to hang. I created the substrate out of mesh and mortar, and then mosaiced it with hand cut stained glass. I named it "Chimera." JaneRussellMosaics.com

Trying to get something going here; playing around with materials. I'm feeling the rain our here in California...I'm really taking my time with this as I'm not really sure where I'm going or if it will come together. But I love the colors. JaneRussellMosaics.com

Two photos of a mosaic that was made using fiberglass mesh and mortar which was folded into this shape. After the mortar cured solid, I added the hand-cut glass and stone bits, as well as a few tiny fused glass cabochons. It was wired to hang on the wall. JaneRussellMosaics.com

"Reaching Out" was made using recycled raku pottery, brick, glass smalti, stained glass, a fused glass cabochon, bits of a small flower pot, and tinted mortar. It's designed to be hung on a wall. JaneRussellMosaics.com

"Relief" is the title of this mosaic that I made a few months ago. It's made out of marble, glass, ceramic, fused glass, and mortar. The title refers to both the texture of the piece, as well as the relief a woman may feel when she discovers a red stain on her clothing.

I recently finished making this mosaic, titled "Hidden Love," which was made from handcut marble, stone, tile, and glass. Framed and wired for hanging. It is 12" x 12". JaneRussellMosaics.com
