Le 1er Mai, Fete du Muguet.

Today is May Day, French tradition is to offer a sprig of Lilly of the Valley to the woman  (women ?) you love... 

Yesterday I completed Mariam's eyes - Well, I lied... I simply completed the laying of the tesserae, it is far from finished, as I have still to flip her, grout her, frame her...

But, from the stone cutter standpoint, it is a done deal...

Here is a reminder of the different phases of the work...

The beginning...

Mariam's Eyes, Le 7 Mars 2014

First tesserae laid - Border, and sandy background.

Mariam's Eyes Twin Mosaics

A short introductory Video of Mariam's Eyes twin Mosaics.

Mariam's Eyes are made after one previous work of mine : Green Eyes, who flew to Dubai last winter.

Green eyes was the first one of my Mosaic Eyes portraits.  2 years later Mariam's Eyes are bigger, and differently centered. I am also using different materials. 

I am actually making 2 mosaics on the same design. One is the mirror image of the other. Twin sisters ! 

One of these mosaics is a commission for a dear French friend of mine.

Mariam's Eyes will be flying to France in June, and her sister will be available for purchase in July 2014. 

If you think you might be interested, please contact me by phone at (334) 798 1639, or by email at frederic.lecut@gmail.com.

I will be posting more pictures of Mariam's Eyes on my Mosaicblues Facebook page, this blog and my regular mosaicblues blog.
