Mosaic Moose for Kaylyn
Stained Glass Mosaic Moose for Kaylyn, 2014 by Kasia Polkowska
This was a really fun project for me. I've been wanting to work on an animal mosaic for a long time now but haven't had the time. Creating this Moose as a Christmas gift for my niece was a great opportunity to finally make that happen. This is the last mosaic that I completed in 2014.
Some of the reasons why the moose is the perfect animal to live in my baby niece's room are the wonderful spirit animal qualities that it posseses. The moose as a spirit animal will let my niece of her importance here on earth, that she possesses special gifts unique only to her and that she is here for a reason. It will be there to remind her of her greatness and to let her know to take pride in her accomplishments in life. It will whisper to her to always find the joy in and of life. Its wisdom will teach her when to be gentle and when to be strong, to always take action in a balanced way. Those are just some of the reasons why this moose will be a good guardian to the little one. On top of that, it is a majestic creature and every time I see it in nature, it feels like magic! It is very graceful and powerful yet goofy. I think it will be a perfect roomate to the baby =)

This Owl is a recent slight simplification/alteration of the the beloved "Professor Plum" seen below to the left. I feel that the new version of the design will be more doable for the students in my 2 day 'Stained Glass Mosaic Owl Workshop' I will be teaching on my 2015 Kasia Mosaics US Tour.

Owls on the Road!
For the last three months I've been living and traveling in a converted cargo van with my partner in crime Kyle the Great! Life on the road does not lend itself to creating large scale mosaics so I've gone cold turkey, not creating any of my artwork since leaving my studio in Colorado.
The other day, I did decide to get a quick mosaic fix. While camping in Upstate New York, I got out some glass, one of my Owl Designs and my tools and went to town! Before the afternoon rolled around, I had my Owl ready for gluing. I might have to do this more often =) Maybe I don't have to wait till 2016 to keep up on my cutting skills!
Below is a photo of my two owls along with the owls my students created during the weekend.
