Piouterwerk - More Pewter work

Die prag van hierdie spieël lê in die opaalstene wat in die piouter ingewerk is.

The beauty of this mirror lies in the opal stones that were inlaid in the pewter.

Sunflowers in Mosaic / Sonneblomme in Mosaïek

I was lucky to find big pieces of yellow glass to do these sunflowers.

 The pieces were cut to size and shape, and then smoothed on a grindstone.

The flowers look very true to life.

afgewerk. Ek was gelukkig om sulke groot stukke geel glas te kry.
