This mosaic was my first one using framing spring clips. I did two others with the same gradation theme and they are all three in a series titled Impromptu. It is on my to-do list to do at least one more in this series, but my gosh! So many ideas, so little time!
I call them impromptus because the design follows from a playing with the spring clips to form some kind of arrangement. For example, I chose green for this mosaic because the arrangement of spring clips made me think of a stream in the woods.
