Title:Water Lily Mirror by artist Jody

It was inspited by Monet. I used opalescent glass because it provides the beautiful gradients of colour that can not be achieved by using conventional mosaic tiles. The gradient of colour is beautifully illustrated by the background green of the piece which is, in fact, one piece of glass, cut into tiny pieces.
Tiffany completed a number of fire surrounds which were mosaiced in opalescent (tiffany) glass.
Working in glass can be expensive. palescent glass is costly and comes in sheet form. A lot of time is needed to continually cut the glass sheets down to the minute sizes required for mosaic work.
