I'm having trouble getting motivated right now, partly due to the emotional toll from COVID-19. No, I am not infected, nor is anyone in my family, gratefully, however I am empathic and usually use this gift to create art. Sometimes, however, people's troubles or the weight of the world gets heavy and I feel it all. After a while, I'm unable to function and nap a lot, binge watch whatever I can find, stay away from the news and only do minimal social media visits. And I definitely don't do art. My muse is tired. However, our life goes on, again gratefully, and I have work to do. Keeping up with this blog actually helps keep me motivated to a certain degree even if it's just to take a few photos like the ones below, showing what I want to do when the muse and I are ready to do it.
Yesterday I picked out the pieces I would like to use for her mosaic. Her favorite flower is a Starburst Lily. I printed out a drawing I found online and glued it to the panel. I'm not sure about all of it yet; the white around the edges of the flowers should be ruffled and I do have some dish pieces that might work for that. I need to find them. That could take some time because I have not done any organizing for quite some time. And it's entirely possible the dish pieces I'm considering aren't the right shape or are not the right color. I'll do a small search to see if they show up. If they don't I'll figure out something else to use. I have choices!
Anyway, here is the panel with the flower glued on it and my choice of dishes and glass so far.
