Mirror Frame Geometric Experiment

I purchased a mosaic kit as a kid project, but hadn't used it with the kid. I didn't particularly like the glass tiles (adamenti), so rather than tossing it, I decided to use it as an experiment with technique, and make it a learning experiment. I've admired the geometric designs of mosaicist Ilona Fried, and wanted to try my hand at that. Much harder than it looks! I'm not thrilled with the piece since I didn't like the tile to begin with, and didn't quite succeed at creating the look I wanted, so I have no idea what I'll do with it. But I did learn a few things, and did better with the grout than I had in the past.

Grouting is done! - I chose a white with some brown for the neck and brown swooshes on the body, and white with some blue for the body, it all looks similar, so perhaps I didn't use enough blue, and the whole thing looks pretty white - but it's fine and I'm happy with it and ready to move on to another project! This is one heavy axe!
