October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month


It seems that we are hearing more and more each day of someone diagnosed with cancer. I, for one, have lost members of my family to this disease. For women, breast cancer seems to be the common one. Whenever I am with a group of women, there are always a few in the group that are breast cancer survivors.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My licensing partner DENY Designs has decided to help to fight for a cure. They challenged their artists to come up with a design regarding breast cancer awareness in our own artistic style. I thought this was a great way to help and designed  “Step On Cancer”.

 Here’s a way to get a beautiful piece of functional art and, at the same time,  20% of the purchase price will be donated to the Denver Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Mosaic Sun Clock

I guess it must be difficult to live with a creative person; always taking photos, painting, knitting, blogging and planning the next project. My poor husband has been dealing with my “super active” personality for 38 years. How does he cope? He joins me in the process. He is creative and expresses himself with photography and videos. Many of you have enjoyed his creative talent documenting events.

Ever since I took a mosaic workshop with Mary Ponchio, he has decided to take on this art form. A while back I blogged about the house numbers he made for our mountain house. He has now decided to make a clock for our Florida patio. This project is much bigger and required some sketching and planning. 

It is fun to see someone creating and I can just sit back and watch. His clock has a tropical feel with a blazing sun in the center. In the fall, I plan to get together with my sisters and a couple of friends and have a mosaic day in the patio. I have a feeling he will be joining us with another project in mind.


Good job, Phil!

P.S. - See what you started, Mary? Thanks!
