Krixter vs. TME - It's ON!

I want link to Krixter's art blog. I figure we can harass and compete with each other online, which will get us each posting and attaching photos and videos. Yes, I typed videos, Krixter. Videos. Of you working in your space. Of me struggling to breathe in mine (because it's a storage space with no ventilation. Or light).

This mosaic thing has me by the short hairs, which is a complete surprise. Because I hate tiling. I hate grouting. I just check out every time I've done it. I get bored silly by all that alignment and the even spacing and the regimented, perfect little rows. Apparently what makes the all difference for me is smashing the tiles with a hammer first. Because just adhering a whole tile is too easy, I guess. But piecing all the little pieces together? That's fun.

And that's just tile. The attraction with glass is the way it feels when it explodes harmlessly in my hand, and with how bewitching all those colors are. I don't know yet about smalti and marble, but I'm enrolled in classes that will help me find out.
