Description
my final project for Crafts class last quarter. Because peacocks are pretty... even though I'm going on 10 million years bad luck for breaking so many mirrors. Sadly, this is the best-quality pic I could get of it...mirrored mosaic*
2'x2.5' roughly

*the entire thing is made of mirrors. The purple parts are colored mirrored glass, the border is made of textured and non-textured mirrored tiles, and the peacock itself is hand-cut and smoothed mirrored chunks which I then engraved.

...lots of trial and error haha
I actually used a glass cutter to trace in short lines around the circle, then tile clippers to get even closer to the edges of the shape. After that I used a small power sander to sand down the edges until they were circular.
Trust me, it was ALOT of work...
but I'm proud
and thanks for liking/commenting
