Susan Crocenzi, Contemporary Mosaic Art

Canis Major

Those purple-magenta Northern Lights that were seen so far south of their norm, a few months ago (May, 2024), really mesmerized me! I didn’t see them in person, but when I saw pics, I let out a little howl, like the sky was calling my inner wild beastie. :)

I bought the ceramic canines at a tileworks in Tucson: Santa Theresa Tileworks many years ago. (They also have an etsy shop.)

The rest of the materials: broken tempered glass, and a mirror round.
