A while ago I made a Narnia story mosaic for a client's garden - see below
Thankfully, she liked to it so much, she has commissioned me to make a table to complement it. The table top is quite a big area - 70cm x 70cm square. I make the mosaic on weather proof cement board, and use porcelain tiles, so it can either go inside or outside. I have sourced a table frame of that size onto which the mosaic top will be attached and sealed.
My client and I are collaborating closely on the design, deciding to have a large head of Aslan, the lion in the middle, surrounded by various iconic Narnia images.
I have to say the lion was a real challenge - I have a limited range of porcelain tile colours to blend - here are work in progress pictures, as I built his face up ...
... and here is Aslan, with all his snipping done!
...rather a handsome chap, I think!
Then onto to some other Narnia images, my client wanted, the lamppost ...
.... a squirrel ....
...and a deer, so far ...
It has been very enjoyable creating all these animals, and I look forward to making more, along with the spring woodland scene. I will update you in a few weeks - these things take time!
Many thanks for reading, and it would be great if you could share my work with your friends and followers.
