This morning was a really fun time in the mosaic studio. The kids from the Sunday School came in and made their artistic debut for the Mosaic In The Rain Garden.
There will be a Sunday School Flower Garden in a portion of the finished mosaic and today our little artists designed their flower and learned the process of making it into a mosaic piece.
To help them picture a real flower, they checked out photos of flowers to get them started. 
When their design was finished, they layered things together. First the cardboard, then the drawn design. Over that went some clear plastic and finally the mesh to glue the tile pieces on to.
The next step was to pick out some tile pieces. Some needed to be cut smaller with the tile nippers and some needed to be "smashed" with a hammer.
The second way was a favorite the morning.
Each one was different.
They also learned how to use special glue - Weldbond.
We'll have another session with the kids next Sunday morning.
Anyone is welcome to join us.
