Since we’re all spending so much time outside I decided to add a little color to our backyard.  Thanks to Angie Heinrich from Zetamari Mosaics for the wonderful metal base on which to put my mosaic creation.

                     

Mosaics for Young People’s Rooms. Tell me your color choices and theme – a letter, a name, an animal, etc. I will create a unique custom-designed gift for your family. Contact me at: https://glistening.glass/contact-me/

Thank you Tami Macala of Mosaic Arts Online https://mosaicartsonline.com/ for offering so many courses taught by generous artists willing to share their craft.  Learned a new technique taught by Yulia Hanansen, the double reverse method.  It is now part of my arsenal.

Five inch mandalas gave me a few days of “flow” during the past two weeks, along with starting a daily exercise/yoga routine.  What’s next?  A little bumble bee for my granddaughter Annalucia (aka Duckie, Luci, Lulu).

My granddaughter Mena’s Rainbow Mosaic, next to Nana’s Sunflowers.  So excited to have her Mama share this medium with her.  Great activity for this time period.

Creating mosaics have helped me maintain a sense of peace during this time. Especially when making a Nursery Room Mosaic for my niece’s baby that’s due in July.  The base was from craftcuts.com  a great place to get sturdy wooden letters and words.  On to the next project – some mosaic mirrors.

One of the blessings of an otherwise tortuous period of history is that we have time to take a breath, reflect on what’s important and indulge in our passions.  Below is my most recent mandala.  Substrate can be purchased from Angie Heinrich at https://www.zetamari.com/    You can see reflected in the first mirror a backsplash I created in our kitchen and in the second, two small mosaic faces.  Started my next piece – a Nursery Wall hanging for my niece’s new baby.  Will post after the baby’s born.
