A Mosaical Tribute to George Harrison (Not Really, but Kinda)

Dear Internet,

Here are a few pictures of the mosaic I made. I got the idea from a Cloth Paper Scissors article from forever ago. I could go into my room and find it and tell you exactly, but...nah. If you read this and you are like, "TELL ME!" then I will. Unless I don't see a comment, in which case, I apologize. 

Materials used (again, I can get specific if you want):

scrapbook paper, dictionary paper

markers

glitter

Goop (glue)

scraps of stained glass cut to size

glass mosaic beads

compass pendant

wooden "canvas"

grout

So, like, how did you make this, Bridgette?

As per usual, I did not photograph any of this until the end. So...this is not a tutorial. But, I know you want to know or else you wouldn't have asked, right? Well, let me tell you: I laid out the background with paper. I used various scrapbook paper for the mountains, the sky, the grass, and I used a sunflower for the sun (which you probably can tell if you look closely). I like the idea that you can see the patterns through the glass. Under the yellow in the sky and the green at the bottom I put some glitter. Because glitter is pretty. At the bottom, I used dictionary paper (the page with the word "sun"--clever girl) and wrote "here comes the sun"--duh.  It's from my favorite Beatle's song. The song makes me happy and hopeful. It's probably a little cheesy, but this song kind of helped me through a rough time in my life, so I have a special connection to it. I decided to add the compass and the beads to give different textures to the piece...and I'm sure there's some artistic significance...or whatever. Like follow your own direction and the sun will rise on the land of Mordor and all will be well in the land of men.
 The last time I did a mosaic like this, I did a set of three birds and used a lot more variety (glass beads, bottoms of glass bottles). This piece turned out pretty colorful and fun and I think captured what the song means for me.
