There is a park of mosaic art about 30 to 60 minutes (depending on traffic) from where I live. It isn't very big at all, but if you love art and detail you can spend a couple of hours at this park finding art within art. You need to look at the big picture then… Continue reading Inspiration
If you ask me for my favorite color, breakfast, food, movie, book, author, season, song, number, place, person, and so on you might be frustrated with my answer. I don't have a favorite and even if I do it is only for a short amount of time. I like to dabble in everything, try it… Continue reading Commitment issues

I hadn't learned to finish a project or how to tighten my stitches. The end result was a very loose and large holed… Continue reading Baby Blankets
Last week I moved my mosaic everything from my room to my office. I decluttered my desk first and had someone help me hang a shelf above my desk for my mosaic tile and parts. Then I moved the rest of my mosaic stuff to my desk. My room is now decluttered and cleaner. I… Continue reading This month’s projects
I have brainstormed Project Mosaic Table since January 2020 (maybe sooner). I bought the sander in April and earlier this month I finally came across the exact mosaic tile I want to use on it.
