Feelings on Final Product

Feelings: When I was working throughout the project, I felt anxious on how the final project was going to turn out. I must also admit that I also got a little frustrated because at times I felt that I was never going to finish. When I was able to finish the product, I was happy that I jumped up and down and my best friend was with me, so I felt that sudden rush of happiness and satisfaction knowing that I was done and I was also excited that I would finally be able to tell my family that I was finished. When I did the grouting, I felt a little awkward because the grouting was squishy and gross. During the sanding I was happy with the way that it would turn out in the end and during the painting, I felt creative and graceful as I strocked the brush to polish my final window mosaic product. Overall, I loved doing this project, and I feel that I really got to express my creativity through a project that I did all on my own. I felt a feeling of accomplishment, and I hope that somehow in the next project, I will have as much fun and feel the same feelings that I did with this project.

Explanation on Work On Mosaic Window.

When I was begining to do the project, I decided that doing an image on a natural landscape would be nice, and so I took pictures with my camera of many different nature objects. I ended up taking a picture of a flower and when I loaded it up to PhotoShop, I played with the image a little bit until I was able to have a really good close-up of the image and I decided that I would use it because it had great shapes and color to it. I drew it on a transperancy and then I copied it on a copier. I then drew it by hand onto a paper that was 23 and a half by 23 and a half. I painted the paper to match the colors on my small copied piece of paper. Then I chose glass that I started to cut in order to match it to the colors on my paper. I then started to glue down the glass into its belonging shapes. I grouted the window, sandpapered it, and then I then painted my window to give it a more modern and careful look.
