In The Studio - Part One

My muses and I have been resting quite a bit these days but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Yay!

All of the people who took part in the Facebook giveaway have gotten their packages. I'm pleased to say all of them are keeping them. Here's what all 10 look like before placed in the hand decorated boxes I shared last week:

And here's a few of the cutest kids ever modeling the mosaics in their new homes. LOVE these!!

"We love it. It's so beautiful! Thank you sooo much"

"Love, love, love my gift from Cindy! What amazing talent and workmanship! Thank you so much for including me!!

Some of the comments were so nice. "Just opened my package from Earth Mother Mosaics and I LOVE it ..." All-in-all I'd say it was a success and something I will do again in the future. Keep an eye out for it because you could be a lucky recipient of a future mosaic by me one day soon, for FREE!

I've mostly just begun to get going again with fun mosaic projects. Lots to grout still but am taking that very slowly to make sure I don't hurt myself. And sometimes the muse just wants to play with glass!

Sometimes I want to draw.

Sometimes I want to take a few photos.

But mostly, I want to add glass, mirror and bits and pieces and get this crazy scrap glass mosaic butterfly wall art.

I'm working on a small piece of MDF right now getting a mosaic flower design on it. I want to work on bigger projects but don't really have the substrates at the moment to accomplish that. So, working small is good.

Working is good. Life is good! I'm feeling very grateful and more than a little blessed to still be able to do what I love to do, when I want to do it no matter the obstacles!

I've been working for such a long time without much sleep or much of a pause that I've given myself the week off! It feels great to just do nothing sometimes and rest. Plus the muse is happy for the ebb so more creativity can flow soon.

Meanwhile, I managed to get the giveaway mosaics all packed up and will be getting postage added to the boxes later this week! Woo-hoo!

I added some cool doodles to a few sides of the boxes. As soon as all mosaics have been received, I'll share them here.

Have a peaceful week.

In The Studio - Part Two

I've packed up the peace signs and waved buh-bye. They are leaving the building today, I hope, and heading on to their new home in North Dakota.

The kidlets are home from school for Spring break until next week. I don't have to do a lot of wrangling now that the oldest can babysit her siblings but I'm here when they need me while Mom and Dad are working.

Yesterday the weather warmed up enough for them to head on out into the courtyard of our apartment complex and play. It was great to see them running around from my window.

I'm taking a small break between projects waiting on supplies for more doodling and mosaic work. It's good to rest and allow the muse to get ready for the next wave of creativity.

The next project for the crafts table is the free mosaic gifts I'll be making for 10 people who responded to the call on Facebook. I'll be doing another giveaway again soon, I'm fairly sure, because I like doing them. I don't donate much work any longer and leaving art abandoned is hard to do now that I'm no longer driving, so this is the perfect solution for me. At least I know those that receive these free mosaics will either gift it or keep it and enjoy it.

If you want to get in on the next giveaway let me know (US residents only at this time, sorry about that) either here or through one of the many other social media spots I frequent which can be found on the right. --->

And don't forget to sign up for the EMM Monthly Newsletter!! Subscribers get some awesome perks!

I hope you have a great weekend and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. Enjoy the moments!
