Even on a Sunday The Big Picture project never sleeps! I went down to the National Glass Centre earlier today to continue documenting the progress of the project. Criss Chaney had already been hard at work for a full hour, hand finishing the glass tiles, before I got there.

She is using a linishing machine to grind down the edges of the 4 inch by 4 inch glass tiles that she skilfully cut down in the Creative Cohesion studio at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, myself and Liz Shaw, have been working hard sorting out the wooden and ceramic tiles. You can see photos of us working on The Big Picture page tab at the top of the blog, or click here.
