Mirror Mosaic Art

Hi everyone!  This is my very first post to showcase my work and passion. I hope you will like these artworks and yes every opinion, comment and criticism will be welcomed. Do share if you like it and if interested you can read the details of this work below: 
This is a mirror mosaic art. This design is inspired from Champagne Mirrored Mosaic Damask Panel. I am in love with damask patterns so I made few changes in design as well as mirror pattern. I used canvas board of 24*36 inches and I have used almond shaped mirror beads of 8mm size instead of mirror strip.

Steps-

1) Primed canvas with acrylic gesso.
2) Traced my design on canvas.
3) To attach mirror to canvas I used marble paste. To make marble paste you need to mix marble powder and MR fevicol and water in 3:2:1 ratio. Like relief painting I lined the design with cones as well as filled up entire design.
4) When paste was wet I pressed mirror beads on paste one by one and cleaned with wet soft towel once entire painting dried completely.
5) Then coloured with acrylic paint and gave two layers of varnish on canvas part to make it water resistant and dust proof.
