The Queen of wands measures 120 by 50 cm. She was created using vitreous glass, broken plates, glass nuggets, beads, glass jewels, fimo twirls, mille fiori, bathroom tiles and much much more. Grouted in dark gray, some painted grout lines, on a Wedi base, aluminium edges.
This mosaic was created as a comission for a friend who wanted a mosaic in yellow, orange and red, and this is what that developed into. Her face is borrowed from the Girl with the Pearl Earing. The Queen of Wands is also the Queen of the element of fire, so she has lots of flaming red hair. Her face is designed to seem hauntingly familliar, but you justcan't quite place it...
I wrote a tutorial about painting grout lines based on this mosaic - click here to read about it!
