Last fall I took my mother to Rome and Venice. While in Venice we went over to the Island of Murano. Some of the materials I use in my mosaics are made there like the smalti and millefiori. Below are some examples of my work with the Italian materials.

Oh you lucky pair of ladies! What a treat to visit the Murano works and buy some of the glass there. Your mosaics are gorgeous! I have only dabbled in glass mosaic.
Fantastic! I just love the duck in the hat..he has such an endearing quality.
Smiles, Karen
