A tree limb seems to always be in the way

Here is my Martian tree. This guy is a little tricky because of the constant tight spaces. As a result, he is progressing a little slower than expected.

The delay could also be due to the fact that the weather has been so nice - who wants to be surrounded by glass and glue?

    Sarah...it was fun to talk to you on the phone yesterday (I'm Julie's mom). Julie sent me to your blog so I can see what you do! I am so thrilled to see you wonderful work! I am going to book mark this blog and come back often to see what you are up to! This is not anything I've ever done. But ever since I read Stephanie Kelos book Broken for You I have had a total appreciation for mosaics! She used old bits of china in hers (whereas I understand you use colored glass mostly). If you haven't read that book, please do...I'd like your comments. I posted a few photos of arts and crafts projects here at the cabin today...but neither of Julie's boys are in those photos unfortunately. When I take photos later of all the finished projects I will have them in that one.
    I love your grandma's comments...you have to forgive us grannies. We say what ever falls out of our mouths. No mincing words with grannies! Hahaha.

    Sarah! I love it already! Believe me, I appreciate a work-in-progress, and I can envision a magnificent Martian forest made of glass, glue, and grout. I'm glad that you're challenging yourself with the tight spaces. Let it be an enjoyable exercise in patience, like a bonsai tree -- but from Mars and made of glass. I'm honored that you're making this for me (ok fine, for my cube) and I hope you're having fun doing it. THANK YOU!
