These aren't examples of my work. Rather examples of my dreams, inspirations and aspirations. Since I picked up my first pair of tile nippers and tessarae, I have dreamt of constructing, A) a HUGE outdoor, decorative mosaic piece, and B) a realistic piece, yet, at the same time, a piece that can take the observer away from this world, to a world of fiction. Or a world of make-believe.
As you can see in these photos, it deviates slightly from reality in the sense that you can literally walk on the "water".
From far they look as real as any fish pond and can beautify any garden.
I plan to start making sketches for a pond like this of my own, soon within the new year, and I hope to start construction within the next two years.
Unfortunately this piece will be a tad bit more costly than most others, because of its size and structural requirements, and will take significantly longer, but I believe there is no point in giving up on one's dreams just because of how long it will take. The time will pass anyway.
All credits go to the original designer of this piece and the author of the wise words at the end of this post. I'll look it up sometime.
In the meantime, keep your dreams alive.
