Well, I admired Laurie Mika's work incredibly before attempting a mosaic of my own, but after having done so, I have an even greater respect for her work. Unlike paper collages where you can always go over and add and remove elements to get the composition you like, mosaics take a lot of planning to get the right composition. I was happy with this one but let me tell you, it didn't come easily. Again, Laurie Mika rocks!
I was inspired by her wonderful book, Mixed Media Mosaics. It has fantastic exemplars of her work and it is jam packed with her awesome instructions and ideas. You have got to check out her book.
Mixed media mosaic tiles made from stamped and hand textured polymer clay and adorned with watch parts, beads, charms and colored using Perfect Pearls and acrylic metalic paints. The yellow tile in the right upper hand corner has a quote from Dali (though it did not show up so clearly on the photo) - it says, "The difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad."

This is absolutely beautiful. I am going to find this book and learn how to make them. :) Very cool. You should make and sell on etsy.
