The Results of Smalti 101

Published by under Art

Well – I may not have produced the world’s greatest modern mosaics, but I did end up with three little pieces of color and awkwardness that I like enough to display in my decor. Plus going to art class was really a nice segway from the office. So here’s what I made – three tree-themed [...]
