Gold &
Red Cat
This is one I did in 2008. It took me
a few months to complete. I used a poly cat garden ornament as a
base and applied mirror tiles to the outside. I chose gold and red
to make the design stand out.
This was an early experiment. It involved
using a poly cat as a base and covering it with mosaic mirror tiles.
The colours were separated to make them look like distinct markings
on a cat. The only extra colour used was the green mirror for the
cat's eyes.
This was one of the only mosaics that
wasn't planned as such. I just saw the base and thought it
would be an interesting one to mosaic. I then took a black
marker pen I drew on where I wanted the two colours to be separated.
After that, I simply attached the tiles and grouted in the normal
way.
