Glow in the dark skull finished!
I'm glad to say I finished the giant glowing skull! It took me a few months to cover the foam skull first with thinset and mesh and then after a few layers of that hardened shell I slowly covered every inch of it with glow in the dark tile (and some standard stained glass and glass tile in the parts that didn't need to glow). This is going to be my big ticket item at the upcoming GLOW SHOW, a blacklight and glow in the dark themed art show that I'm participating in as well as curating. The show will be at the end of August at the RayRay Gallery in downtown Chico. I'm already learning so much about things that glow under blacklight! More soon!

Almost Done with the lava spill!

I was going to title this entry "Eat your heart out Pele!" but as a lava goddess, Pele seems to have a lot of anger, and I really don't wanna be messing with any angry volcano gods right now. Here is the lava flow mosaic I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. The edges are lined with glow-in-the-dark glass with little chips throughout the lava to glow like hot embers (although electric blue). I'll be grouting tommorow. I'm happy to showcase my Rebel Tiles custom circles in this piece. Yay!

Glowing pollen filled vines!

I'm a glow in the dark fanatic, so when I find a space to mosaic that gets good sun, I always want to suggest glow in the dark glass. Why not the front steps? This one took me a couple of days, but I still haven't grouted it! Luckily, no one has cut their foot. The spirals glow a brilliant electric blue when night falls (and I turn off the party lights).
