First panel finished!

Now that the holidays have passed, it's time to get down to the business of

Rain Garden Mosaic.

My friend Sarah met me in the studio today and we worked out the wrinkles of showing others how to get started and complete a piece of mosaic for the garden.

 This is the first panel begun this afternoon.

As you stand at the end of the waterway and look west toward the church building, there is a small panel facing you at the top right on the cement "box". That's where this one will be.

 

 

Here it is, four hours later, finished!

See the turtle at the bottom? What's that stuff directly above him/her? Got a guess?

It's not grouted yet so maybe it will be difficult to figure out but I know what it is.

Comment at the bottom with your guess.

 

Meet Sarah and her dog, Gladys who spent the day in the studio with us.

  Don't throw away those nice, clean, see-through plastic bags. We can use them in the mosaic studio.  Thanks!

Also, we're always on the look out for thick mirrors - broken or not (we'll smash them for the mosaic). Thickness should be about 3/8" or 1/4".
