Creating Art And Friendship.

Here's my quilter friend and artist Betsy designing a piece of the mosaic

that includes a little squirrel and a red headed woodpecker.
 

My quilter friend and artist Sarah put tiles to the little squirrel
and red headed woodpecker that Betsy drew for her.
Now Betsy can work on the rest of the panel

Here's a closer look:

 And this is how they are fitting into the panel.

Betsy is trying out some green tile to represent moss

on the north side of the tree but just isn't sure if it's working.

That's how we roll - we try something and if it works, we leave it.

If it doesn't work, we pull it off and try something else.

 

Sarah has started on another piece that includes morning glories,

a rabbit and a cabbage patch.

How in the world do you make a cabbage patch?!!!!

I guess we'll find out next week.

 

Swoosh goes the red winged blackbird

by artist, Ann N.

Ann has managed to make the air look like it's moving around.

And the daffodils are looking like they need to be picked!

Pretty.

 

Artist Cori has made the star of one of the panels

A fishing boat!!! With silhouetted fishing people!!!

To me this looks sort of Antoni Gaudi-esk with the great color.

Now we just have to figure out a name for the boat.

 

 Elizabeth Taylor has changed her eye color.
Guess she's not E.T. any more.
Looks more like Barney Google with a yellow flower. Boy those eyes shine!

Here's how those eyes glow in the panel.

I'm trying for a little sunset. Hope it works.

Oh, wait.

Those are yet a previous try at the eyes.

Next week will hopefully show a finished panel

with little Miss Google Eyes.

 

NOW Betsy's panel is finished.

She's put in the last touch - a white daffodil. Yay.

Artist Helen's panel is getting more and more complete.

She has some pretty nice air flow going on in the sky.

She used white stones from Sandra T's parents collection.

Notice the center of the white lily; it's using a patterned tile.

 Sarah's panel now has sky and is complete.
Frisky the Squirrel is seemingly loving the climb.

 And at the end of the day, we're making friends.

 It's been a good week in the Mosaic Studio.
