In
this photo sequence, I am cutting out one of the trees for the tree
covered mountains in my mosaic. When I create a deciduous trees, I
first draw an outline of the crown with a sharpie. If there is already a
tree next two it, I also trace the shape underneath it. Then I score
my lines with my glass scoring tool. Then I break the glass along the
scored lines with my running pliers. If there
are any irregular edges left, I clean them up with my nippers. Then I
fit my tree into its desired place. If its a good fit, then I tape it
to its neighbor. If its not a good fit, then I shape it some more until
it fits into place. The trees in this photo are in the foreground so
they are pretty large and will gradually get smaller in size as they go
back in space and up the mountain. I repeat this process for every
single tree, some of them are a lot more complicated with more concave
cuts which require a lot more scoring, breaking, nipping and shaping. |

ReplyDeleteAdult jigsaw puzzles offer a fantastic way to relax and unwind, especially when surrounded by nature's beauty, like Colorado in the fall. Puzzles challenge the mind, improve focus, and bring a sense of calm by encouraging slower, intentional moments. Art and Craft Supplies also make a great activity to enjoy with friends or family, creating a shared sense of accomplishment. With each piece, a bigger picture unfolds, much like witnessing a breathtaking landscape piece by piece. Completing a puzzle feels rewarding and brings a deep sense of satisfaction, making it a perfect addition to any cozy, mindful evening.
