It's Magical Monday

 Throughout the year I often find times when the magic of mosaic making is exhausting. There are so many projects rolling around in my head that I have to write things down, put what I see together in some way to work on or often just gather enough of the supplies in one place to remember what I wanted to create.

This month was busy in that way but not much was yielded from it. I found I needed a few supplies I didn't have, even with all I do have, one thing was missing. Pushing that one aside to start on a new something or other was what I ended up doing.

By the end of a few crazy weeks of doing that, I have to now organize the aftermath.


Sometimes, tossing everything I've used into one bin and sorting it all is the only way I can do it. Right now, this is where I am. I have a lot of small pieces to sort through. It should take about a week to get through it all but I'll get there.

Meanwhile, I have some wood slices waiting for grout, a microwave plate waiting for some new glass so it can be made and there's a few switch plate covers, also small MDF wall hangings to make as well as a framed glass-on-plexiglass hanging.


 


I can't guarantee any of it will look like what you see here but I can say for certain it will all get made. Sometimes I use photos as guides, other times I draw a design to guide me and then there are times when the muse guides me and I just go for it.

Meanwhile, there's still time, but just enough, to order something from my shop on GoImagine. I've noticed a decline in delivery times as the year gets busier through the post office especially and I'm going to suggest, if you want something, to send me a message any place you've seen this announcement and we'll see if it can get to you before the holidays in December. My preferred shipping service is UPS but they too are a bit overwhelmed. It happens ...

Stay tuned! I'll share as I go, any and all progress.

Enjoy the journey.

It's been a while ...

I've been attempting to go back to things I like to do as I get more settled into the end of the year routines. As winter is just a finger snap away, I'll be even more involved in creating art and wanting to share it wherever I can.

This poor blog has been neglected for too long. It's time to dust off the cobwebs and try to bring it to the present moment in time.

I have a new online shop that I'm very proud of. This site is amazing and I highly recommend you go take a look around. Their mission is to support artists such as myself and give us a platform that is affordable. Not only that but their proceeds go to children's charities. Read their Mission Statement and you'll understand why I joined them.

I've been making quite a bit of art these days. Not just mosaics but doodles as well as starting to experiment with water color painting. There's so much to share and so much to catch you all up on, but what I'll try to do is keep posting as often as I can and share as often as I can. Maybe we will catch up at some point!

Here's a few photos of some of my recent creations.

Enjoy your week and have a Happy Thanksgiving if you're within the US. Stay safe and warm and peaceful. And above all else ... enjoy the journey!
