Mosaics! Mosaics!

What else could I possibly get into doing now?? MOSAICS....that's what! A few friends from GroveHouse Artists Gallery took a workshop with our member mosaic artist, Mary Ponchio last month. At the time, I was busy painting silk scarves so I had to wait for the second one. We met at glass artist, Kathy Stults' house for the workshop. Mary brought what seemed like endless supplies and a completed bird house to inspire us. We spent the first day selecting our color scheme, designing our piece, cutting the glass and gluing them down. We could not believe what we had created in so short a time. Mary was right when she told us that our pieces would come alive when we grouted them the next day. To our amazement, we made something worth looking at. We not only had fun doing it, but we were very pleased with the end results. I truly believe this will be another way to create. Someone lock up the dishes at home..........I feel like breaking them all.

Mary was a wonderful teacher and Kathy a gracious hostess. Thank you both!
