I create micro mosaics in the old world Italian technique developed by the Vatican in the 1500’s. I make glass threads, or filati, by melting enamel glass and shaping it while molten. I pull the glass into long thin threads and then cut them into pieces smaller than rice, to place within my setting, following a drawing.
I hand make the stucco adhesive, following the ancient formula. I pulverize travertine marble and mix it with a combination of linseed oil, and allow it to harden for months.
