hi all! I put up a page featuring my husband Bryan's latest mosaic tiled and beaded instrument. This one is a student sized guitar.

WOW! Totally impressive. Does the guitar work? Even with all those beads and stuff glued to the outside?

How fantastic the guitar is. I would love to have that hung on my wall. Hugs Shirley

Thank you very much, Shirley! My husband just sold it to a musician he has known for many years, and its the person from whom we got the guitar in the first place, so that worked out neatly. AND in addition to some much needed income, we now have more instruments comng our way so Bryan is going to be busily gluing. He's started on the Big Green Twelve String. Sarajane

No, its not playable as an instrument, but most all of the pieces Bryan does were broken before he got them. We do a lot of recycled art! The only time he can do an instrument and still have it playable is when its an electric--mosaic encrustations ruin the acoustics of vibrating intsruments.
