Agate of Subtle Colors

Posted by Wendy Nelson on 8/7/2007

The "Agate of Subtle Colors" mosaic wall hanging has a unique combination of color and texture. The Agate pieces are beautiful hewn slices ofnature's artwork in subtle colors and forms. The mosaic is composedof glass chips, stained glass, agate and is grouted. The back and sideframework area is wood and is stained. Colors are predominantly mauve,and burgundy, with midnight blue, slate blue, pale blue, tan, rust and gray throughout the art. Rough textured, natural feeling, yet framed.

I always thought that oils and painting were the most creative artform, so when I was able to use hard forms and start to make creative art, it was somewhat of a surprise to me. It was also a lot more painful - with all of the glass. Mosaics are now what I prefer. The antique stores hide their beautiful plates when they see me coming and my husband shakes his head in disbelief, as I purchase beautiful hand-painted plates to break with a five pound hammer later that evening. : ) But, I could never have made the Moonlit Dance without all those wonderful pieces! A lady at our local store, Jamestown Glass, is helping me find the right glass to use for glass-on-glass mosaics. Glass, Lucite, Glass with two plastic layers in between - we are experimenting. I have power tools now and that was an exciting event. Buying agate from a man in Colorado, and pawing through that and grouping it by colorations for future pieces... So much to do and so little time! As artists, I think we have more fun than other people... or maybe we just appreciate time, our God-given talents, and the challenge to do something with them. Even if it's not great art that we do. It's in the "doing" that we grow. Building and creating and learning!
