I'm always looking for mosaic ideas. I look at stained glass and applique patterns a lot. I found this 3 horse stained glass pattern. This is printed on a 8 1/2 x 14 inch sheet of paper.
using carbon paper, I traced the pattern onto a board
then started to fill in the horses with lots of small things from my craft room hoard
the manes are bugle beads
ear is a decorative chain with small discs
the head of the horse is B.B's
the eye is a black bead with a silver seed bead glued on the hole
there is more chain on several places of the face
large links of chain were cut to form the area around the nostril and mouth
silver seed beads under the neck and at the bottom of the chest
silver glass pebble rock and silver plastic beads in the body
a piece of chain on the chest
and more B.B.'s for the leg
this horse is using the same materials as above, except in gold or copper B.B.'s
the ears are petals from a flower pin with some chain links glue to the outer edge of the ear shape
same materials as the other silver horse except this one has one ear formed from a different type of chain
and the second ear is formed from cutting up links on a large chain
where is some ball bead chain on this one around the nose and that runs up the front of the face
red dot in this one and one above is to remind me not to fill the area in........
they are suppose to be blank............
yes, I need reminders like that sometimes!
