I got Usagi back from the framers today - I did this one as a test of technique, and because I love the character so much. Usagi is a creation of Stan Sakai, who has a comic book series packed with the adventures of the samurai rabbit :) I really recommend his work.
It was a tricky mosaic to do, in the end - a lot of careful consideration of the flow of tiles. The stained glass background was a real mess when it came to moving the whole thing - they kept falling off the mesh. What I might do next time is grout the main motif to the board, and then fill in the background directly onto the board.
The photograph isn't the best, as the camera died after I got a single shot - need to find that battery charger. The colours aren't quite right - ie the ears are two shades of white - bright white on the upright bits, off white for the floppy bits.
I am pleased with the end result :)
