Horns and All
by Pamela Edwards, 2019
This mosaic depicts a Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum), the official state reptile, wrote locally as a "horny toad." Largest of all species, Texas Horned Lizards grow up to 5 inches in length. The tiny dinosaurs can pump up their bodies, and shoot a 5 foot stream of blood from their eyes and mouth swing in peril. Still, the passive scaly sunbathers have long been a threatened species.
In this mosaic tribute you will discover native stones, locally acquired found objects, and tiles in a variety of earth tones. To preserve this horned lizard for future generations, PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH.
