My favorite technique of mosaic is glass-on-glass mosaic “GOG”; which actually allows you to own two pieces of art depending on your mood. You can put it on your wall, as a picture, and enjoy all it’s beauty from your couch, or when you really need to color up your life you can put it in your window, as a stained glass piece, and get mesmerized by the dazzling shades of colored light shining through the glass.
The technical definition of "GOG": glass-on-glass mosaic is translucent stained glass adhered to clear glass with clear adhesive, so light shines through, achieving a similar effect to leaded glass, but allowing for more fluidity, spontaneity and detail.
It all started with my first rooster.
Not having any tools yet, I just arranged the scrap pieces of glass I bought from a local stained glass artist into a rooster and glued them to a pure piece of glass (from an old picture frame).
I thought it was the easiest thing for me to do. I put it on the internet and THEN I found out I did a "GOG" piece!
It turned out to be a very nice "GOG" rooster, making all the people that saw it very happy.
Since then I’ve learned a lot about the glass-on-glass technique and continue to learn and create more of “GOG” pieces with continued enjoyment.
