Okay, I never thought I would make peace enough with this mosaic to have it on my site, much less use it for a Feature Friday. There is quite a story to this one. Over 20 years in the making! I did so many things wrong on this when I started it and I wanted to just get rid of the thing instead of storing it away for almost 18 years. But the sheer size of it and the fact that I had already glued on that border treatment made it difficult to just throw away.
Originally titled Fullness, I finally decided to finish it in 2018. You can read more about the history and completion of this project here.
