Louie, the salt shaker

Here's my second mosaic from an Intro to Mosaic class at IMA. The class was all about ceramic tile - how to shatter, cut, shape and piece it. The moment the instructor held up Louie, I knew I had to use him.



I'm continuing my tour of mosaic materials: This weekend's class in Intro to Smalti. I'm hoping to hate it, as smalti is so expensive and I've already given my heart to stained glass. I'd like to be able to cross at least one type of tesserae off my list, but that doesn't seem to be the direction this is going.
