While I am devoting lots of time and energy to my Kickstarter campaign, I am not neglecting actual mosaic work !
I am presently working on 3 projects. One pair of eyes (a rather famous guy), a community project in partnership with Troy University in Dothan, and a bigger edition of my Pomegranate Tree presently in France.
All of this is very exciting for a number of reasons, but tonight I wanted to introduce my "Grenadier" (this is French for Pomegranate...)
Most of you have seen this first Pomegranate Tree, all made of glass, I built it on mesh in Alabama and assembled it in my French Studio last July.
Is this a beauty or what ?
However, I believe the next Grenadier will be even more beautiful, and I'll tell you why :
- I just brought back from France with me some really gorgeous tiles.
- I added two alchemical Sun and Moon at the top corners of the tree !
Can you see the joy in these golds and orangey yellows I purchased from my friends at Championnet Carrelages ! This, my friends, is going to be gorgeous.
Please let me know how you feel about it !
If all goes well, Grenadier will be available in December 2015, a fantastic Christmas Present don't you think ?
I
