I received this commission in July and just delivered her yesterday. The clients, who live in mountain lion territory, are ecstatic. I have to say this turned out very very well!! I will let the photos tell the story. She is made of styrofoam, covered in fiberglass mesh and cement slurry, then finished with a few layers of cement. The mosaic is glass and Thinset.
