Artwork is "stacking up"!!!

MY OH MY!

The mosaic panels are stacking up on the shelves.

Now we just have to keep them in order!

There IS a system... Each panel is part of a section of water or flowers. They are numbered and lettered so when the time comes, we'll know where they go.

 

We had the pleasure of having a young visitor today.

Betsy S. is working on a water panel

and she brought her granddaughter, Ayla

Ayla spent time patiently cleaning the burnt and dirty beads

with water and a strong Dawn.

Ayla also had time to make some pretty mosaic tulips for the children's flower garden.

Here are the beads drying on a towel.

They sure show off their colors when the soot and dirt are washed off from them.

Jane is making waves....

And they look so pretty. She claims not to be an artist - she sure was fooled there!

Pam came in for a quick visit.  

 

  You can watch for Sarah's whale Herman as he arcs into the waves .

 

Another find I discovered on our trip to Arizona were these adorable shaped tiles.  Take a good look because you will be able to search for them when they are hidden in the mosaic pieces.

 

Like this...

 

  

...and like this.

Can't see it? Look closer.

It's a rattle snake!

 

It was a good day in the mosaic studio today.... and yesterday.
