Ep. 208 WATER FALLS & FLOWS IN THE MOSES STRIKING THE ROCK MOSAIC!

Hey Everyone, welcome to my studio!
I have been commissioned by a church to make three mosaics that will go around the sides of a fountain, in between three spillways. They are all in the theme of Moses. Because the fountain is round, I will be working on AR fiberglass mesh with silicone as my adhesive. I am using stained glass and 24k gold smalti. The first mosaic is Moses Striking the Rock.

0:21 An update on the project so far: All the figures are finished and the water has been started!
0:37 I cover everything so my shards don't end up slipping under the mesh.
0:46 I kick off the mosaic with some 24k gold flowing down the waterfall.
1:21 I cut pieces for a small area, then I adhere them with silicone one by one. Each piece is individually fit into place.
3:18 The fall is finished, so I begin on the flowing water.
3:40 I'm at the BIG SPLASH! Then I'll work on the bits behind it. The big splash is made of white glass and white gold.
5:32 For most of the water I have used mostly white. Behind the splash I will be using more gray so there is some contrast between the splash and the flowing water behind the splash.
6:00 There is an issue with the Seabell nippers. They are not opening properly. I've oiled them, but that did not solve the issue. I don't have time to mess with it, so I am switching to my trusty Leponitt's until it is resolved.
7:15 I like to add the gold bits first and then fill in with the stained glass parts.
7:47 I show all the progress so far!

That's Putting It Together, Ep. 208. Thanks for watching! See you next time.
