Impressive..very well done. How long did it take him to do the piece?

 

[Kathy]

Not sure I can ask. He has done many mosaics, some on glass some on wood. Has also done 3d pieces - like flowers in a pot, the pot being a wine bottle bottom that he found.

In answer to your question, about 15 hours. Hardest part is picking the pieces and fitting them into the right spaces.

I couldn't do that in a year...lol

Me either, although I am going to try some small ones this winter.

"One of" your best?!?

What the hell else is in contention with that, especially considering the source?

Seriously, that is awesome and incredibly thoughtful.

That's awesome!

My only critique is that I see you have a picture of the mascots throughout the years. Your son should have gone with the constipated husky!

Didn't want to color other people's opinions - but yes best I've gotten. Took me this long to find a safe way to display. That wood frame is anchored into the top of the bookcase and isn't going anywhere.

That was a gift from my nephew.

To be honest - the 2014 championship.waspretty damn good- the last game I watched with my husband and son before my husband died 2 weeks later.

There's no "care" emoji so I could only give a "thumbs up." Being a fan of any team is an irregular series of highs and lows. How great that you all got one of the highest highs in such a difficult time.

Something neither of us will ever forget. My son went to his first game at 4 months old. Games were family time - the 3 of us to every home game, some away and quite a few BE Tourneys.

Beautiful mosaic, love it! Is your son working on the new Husky logo? Might be the next gift......

No, I wouldn't want that one- too wolflike. He really has done some marvelous stuff.
