Sean’s Eyes

Glass, Ceramic and stone Mosaic.
Size: 14″ (35 cm) x 49″ (123 cm) x 2″ (5 cm)

You know these EYES ! They are the forst pair of male eyes I ever made in mosaic.
Like most of my mosaics, they were built upside down, following the Reverse Method. The small pieces of materials (the tesserae) are glued upside down on a model drawn as the mirror image of the actual design.
When all the tesserae have been set, I cover the whole piece with Thinset mortar and glue a framed backing board on top of it.
Finally, when all materials aer set, I flip the whole pice and see the actual mosaic for the first time !
