this week's Ciranda progess

Inch by inch, I'm getting closer to the finish line.

Thanks to an amazing stone artist, I have a flat surface to install the Ciranda mosaic on. Check out Peter's website and oogle over his beautiful work: www.balamstudios.com

1st student in the new studio

I had a wonderful time teaching Janeen how to mosaic. We created a glass on glass mosaic garden stand. Didn't she do a fabulous job!?! I'm looking forward to more classes in the studio.

ciranda - work in progress

Ciranda is a Brazilian circle dance. I believe it is a quick, lively one. This mosaic, however, is taking me on a slow and very intentional dance across the floor (if a mosaic is capable of doing that) - quietly, methodically moving me around. Ciranda is also the name of the company that I'm doing the mosaic for. They are importers of organic ingrediants.

giving thanks!

Starting out my day, being very grateful for all the support I receive from the amazing art/mosaic community. It makes me twill with glee to be a part of this group. Thanks everyone!
