Tranquil Morning - The Roseate Spoonbill

I love the simple elegance of the roseate spoonbill, and the way they 'fish' for the shrimp that make their feathers turn such a lovely shade of pink.  :)

This 16" x 16' mosaic was created with various shades of gray and blue Bullseye glass (not fused) that I cut into shapes that reflect the movement of calm water for the surrounding background.  I used multiple layers of pink Wasser glass, fused together to create the roseate spoonbill's body.  I fused multiple, single-layered glass for the reflection of the spoonbill below it.  The sides are also enhanced with white Bullseye glass strips that were grouted around for a smooth finish.  

Thank you for considering my mosaic!
