I really love making sculptures for mosaics. I have been wanting to do a giraffe for a long time so here she is. Gigi the Giraffe stands 44" tall and is a styrofoam substrate covered with fiberglass mesh and cement, then mosaicked with 90 year old china from my great-grandmother.

Lizard - a pique assiette mosaic
I am in a show next month, Sept 15 2017 thru November, at The Reclaimed Room in San Francisco's Bayview District. I will be showing older pieces but wanted to make at least one new one. This is a 3 foot long, cement-on-Wediboard handmade substrate mosaicked with figurines, found objects, recycled glass, china and mirror. It's hard to see here but his head is actually lifted, the way a lizard would do.
