Wednesday - Life in the Purple Palace

In case you didn't know, the Purple Palace is actually a lovely walk-in closet within my room painted in the most glorious shade of deep purple. It was painted this color by the previous owner. I immediately knew it had to have a proper name and stay just that color. Hence: The Purple Palace Art Studio.

I've been kind of busy with the mosaic part of my life but I'm not moving quickly at all.

I started the process of cleaning every piece of tesserae I have in dishes this week. It requires a little time to dry because I don't have the space to lay them all out once they're clean. What I've been doing is weighing some pieces, trying to keep it around 5 pounds, and then getting them clean for storage and eventually selling. I really hope someone sees the value of these pieces for their own background mosaic artwork. Cross your fingers and everything else you can! I could use the space as this is under the desk of my work area where I create mosaics.

The mosaic shown below has finally moved to the grout pile. I really dig this one. It reminds me of important things in my life in this one piece of art (love when that happens!). In no particular order: pretty colors, spring flowers and FAMILY.

To keep the juices flowing between larger pieces like the one above, I pulled out some lids to mosaic. These will have either holes and a twine string for hanging or a magnet attached to the back, depending on the heaviness of the mosaic within the lid.

Other than that, there could be a spontaneous burst of energy to do something I had not planned. These bursts are always welcome and I invite them in to come play with the muse(s).

 

Enjoy the journey.
