Dodo's are not Extinct

Hooray I've finally finished my Dodo mosaic. You know how it is, a couple of days of intensive mosaicing and then several months of deliberation on how the tackle the background. So when people say how long did that take you, the truthful answer is nearly a year although all in all about four days work. Very pleased with him and good to find a use for the terracotta feather tiles I made some years ago. I have just spent a couple of days down with Oliver Budd making a mad hare, here's hoping it doesn't take another year to finish!

He is quite large being 3 ft x 2 ft ish in size and I have used a mixture of Vitmos, Smalti and handmade tiles. He is sitting on a board of MDF and I'm having a wide black frame made for him. I was hoping he would look like an illustration from a book.

I will post a picture of the hare in progress, I've just worked out how to do some leaves I was dithering over so onwards and upwards.
