Mosaic Beauty!
I was so proud my student, Yves! Isn’t this piece beautiful? It was created using Orsoni Smalti from MosaicSmalti. We chose to use a different technique using mosaicfilm. You can learn this method too in my mosaic workshop! New schedule coming soon!

Live from Windows Live
Well I am finally back after a long sabbatical. No, actually it seems there is more to having a studio outside your home than I thought. There is life outside my little room and it’s great! I am going to try my best to post at least once a week. I thought I would work with Windows Live, since I have a new laptop (finally) seems like a good challenge for me. So far so fun.
Below is a photo of Haley, a high school senior that chose me for her mentor for her senior project. What talent she had. I hate it when people say they don’t have talent, that’s when you need to back up and watch out!
Haley. designed and created these beautiful 4 season mosaic stepping stones. I just love them. I am so grateful to have met Haley and share her senior year with her. Good luck girlie!
Oh by the way we used MosaicFilm and it worked beautifully!
