There's not much activity happening in the studio this week.
I still need to prime a few things, still need to decide what is next to work on. Meanwhile, my head has pretty much been focused on the business things. Reading, writing, making vision boards and all that fun stuff. This takes time and some days (this week anyway) I have found I'm too tired to do much other than nap and think about working on a new mosaic while dreaming.
I did, however, manage to finish up this plate. NOW it's ready for grout. I knew it wasn't quite finished when I shared it last week. I'm happy with it now.
Putting glass around the circles was exactly what it needed. I'm fairly sure I'll use black grout on this when the time comes.
Meanwhile, I don't think I shared the final touches on the Meditation Shrine I made myself recently. What was added was some deep purple acrylic and some white dots on the legs and very bottom of the piece. Then I glued a "third eye" to the inside, angels on either side of the shrine at the feet and a cool bird with the word "inspire" on the back.

| "Awareness" has always been hard to see in photos but it is really visible here. Yay! |

If you need to see more photos of this pretty cool shrine, you can find the whole series of photos from start to finish on my
FB Page and/or on my
flickr photostream whichever you prefer.

I really love the blue you used on the top mosaic! It's so bright and colourful! It's good to take the time to do the business things, like vision boards and research. Reading about you doing that makes me want to create another vision board ;)
Thank you. I hope to grout it this weekend. It should look pretty cool. Do more vision boards!! I like doing small ones. Keeps me focused on the smaller things and I don't get overwhelmed that way.
