I’ve made friends across the nation and seen some of our great country by attending classes.

The start of my portrait using Tim’s technique.
First, let me say I don’t do portraits. Second, my left brain/right brain are at war in this process. There’s an image in enamel under the pieces of colored glass. I traced the lines/shadows I thought were important. Now, I’m braking up colored pieces into a mosaic type collage. This will then be fired in the kiln. My left brain wants it to look human. My right brain wants it to be loose and free, impressionist. Not sure which side will win.
