A few years ago a coworker and friend bought me a bottle of pomegranate liqueur because she knows my predilection for that fabulous fruit (related tangent: I recently ordered a personalized license plate that reads PMGRN8. Yes, really.)
The liqueur was good, but even more delicious was the logo on the bottle:
This friend took one of the paper mosaic classes I offered at my work in 2008 and since then has really developed as an artist. She has begun an incredible paper mosaic of the design. During her mosaic preparations, her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. Another talented coworker/friend who is one of our ‘paper mosaic artiste crew’ caught the bug and is making her own pomegranate tree paper mosaic.
Who am I to resist?
Mine will be made primarily with stained glass. Although I started it yesterday, I’m almost finished the outline of the trunk.
The pomegranates are made from dyed coral:
I have big plans for the background (a new fusion of techniques that I am eager to try), but you’ll have to wait until the foreground is finished to find out what’s to come 
Tuesdays are our mosaic show-and-tell days, when we bring in our pieces to compare but mostly to ooh and ahh and bask in our shared glory. I can’t wait to share pictures of my friends’ amazing work; they have taken paper mosaics in new and wonderful directions.
