Seattle artist Cynthia Toops intricate works are each the result of a painstaking process, which reflects her passion for her work. The mosaic chips are first created by rolling hundreds of tiny threads in many shades of the same color and then baking them for 20 – 30 mins. Then, with a pair of tweezers, she sets each thread in position and tamps it down. With each piece containing 600 – 1000 threads per square inch, the process is time-consuming. The drawing of the design may only take and hour or two; however putting the threads in place can take up to 50 hours.
