I took my glass and started to randomly place glass next to each other, hoping that something would take form. For a long time, nothing did, but then, I saw something take shape. What I saw was a fish. Eagerly, I started placing glass together with new purpose and soon, I had a large and beautiful fish.
I wanted to save my first ever mosaic, so I got out a masonite board and started gluing. Of course the fish was too big, so I made it smaller and it looked just as good as before. I glued all the glass and put the masonite over it, but either the glue wasn't strong enough or I didn't wait long enough because when I lifted up the board, only a few shards of glass stuck.
However, one of my crazy sayings is "the pencil is longer than the eraser for a reason," so I tried to remake my fish, but it didn't turn out as good as my first fish.
My mosaic turned out pretty good for a firt try. I made the fins and flippers pink, but the rest of the body is an array of blues, pinks, and some clears, but the eye is red because I used the types of stones that go in the bottom of a fishtank for the eye.
The mosaic had it's ups and downs but I think it's pretty good for a first attempt.
