Little By Little.......

 
We're all working like crazy to get the project to the finish line.
Don't ask about the finish date yet... we don't know.

Above is Helen working on her elegant wave.
And below, Jane and Betsy are concentrating.
Jane is creating her wave using a variety of colors.
AND some turquoise stones she got at a garage sale!!!
The stones were in a garage sale casserole (she didn't know it) 
and when she got home,
she threw them in the garden.
When digging them up this spring, she found that
 they had wriggled their way pretty deep into the ground.
Digging is a good exercise. Yes?
Sorry Jane. But, thanks for thinking of them --- and us!
Jane's panel is turning out really great.
 
Here's a closer look:
 
The Children's Flower Garden has been a joint effort -
The kids made the flowers and the dragon fly.
I did the lettering.
Sarah did the fill behind the flowers and the letters.
This is one of four panels for the Children's Flower Garden.

It is so satisfying to finish a panel and have it turn out so pleasing.
The two side-by-side panels with Bob the Beaver are done.
I get teased for wanting sparkles and bling - but doesn't it look pretty?!!!
(shhhh - and there's a lady bug on one of the cat tails. shhh)

Betsy and Pamela K are beginning the lower right side of Bob the Beaver panel
I suppose the left panel is Lorna Loon.
As you can see, matching stems and waves are tricky and take a fair amount of concentration.

It was a good two days in the Mosaic Studio.
