Three quilt buddies came today.

 Three of my quilt buddies came to the studio today. I just knew they'd be wonderful at the art of mosaic; just switch thinking from fiber to tile!

Here are Sarah, Deb and Betsy.





Sarah is a prolific quilter and has bed quilts and wall art for her friends and family. Colors are beautiful and designs pleasing...always lovely.
Deb makes fiber art with an eye for color and design and creates stunning wall art.
Betsy can't stop being creative. Plus her fiber art has been commissioned and displayed across the U.S. Locally, you will see one of Betsy's pieces on the wall of the Jane Brattain Breast Center in St. Louis Park.

Below, we positioned two quarters together so we could match up stems etc.

 and worked on lengthening the cat tails and added some water.

 I auditioned colors to accentuate the lovely loon and baby
plus making the sky a bit different from the color of water....
....thus an evening sky that is slightly pink and the yellow sun reflecting on the water.
                 ...ORRR, it could be early morning.
                          Don't know - don't normally see that part of the day.
By the way, the blue water is made from a ceramic mug that we smashed up.
The occasional curves in the mug pieces give a little shine to the water.

 Deb is a "new-bee" and by golly, she made a gorgeous wave.
Thanks, Deb. You're a natural. You should see her quilts; they're beautiful.

 Sarah finished up another wave that was started last week.
Looks good, Sarah.

It was a really fun day in the Mosaic Studio today.
