Hurrah! A commission for an outdoor piece completed. A gift for someone who loves tigers and all things tigerish I decided to go for a tiger's head in glass mosaic on a slate background. The slate gives a lovely dark dramatic background to the head. I produced it working on to mesh and then applying the mesh to the slate as I thought it would give me more control with the placing of the pieces than applying direct. Normally I name all my pieces but can't get past Tiger, Tiger as in the wonderful William Blake poem for this one!
In the words of William Blake (1757-1827) himself:
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
