I have been working on vases. I just put the most recent one up on Etsy. I think they’d make a great gift, my mosaic vases…but I am, of course, biased. 😉 I used smalti for this on a glass form. Smalti is a beautiful, irregular glass mosaic material that has been used for centuries.Continue reading “friday february fifteenth”

new website & new vase
I launched my new website, which I’ve been working on for months last night. You are on it right now if you are reading this. I went from doing my own design in dreamweaver to squarespace 6, which is a web building platform. I like it, and it is much easier for me to updateContinue reading “new website & new vase”
the best way to see someone’s vacation pics
Check out what the Mister has made out of dozens of burst shots from several of our trips, including Turkey, India and the Philippines. The soundtrack is chanting and bells from a women’s Tibetan monastery. Catch the India mosaic.
worth a thousand words

My vases are and willContinue reading “vases”

on the wall & on the road
That’s right! The mosaic panels have been completed (except for the joining seams) and we were able to install them on the wall where they will permanently reside. All this happened yesterday, a mere 5 days after returning from a blissful week of R&R with Ryan in Kerala, Southern India. Now we have 3 weeksContinue reading “on the wall & on the road”
major progress, and a vacation for me!
here is a composite photo of our progress to date. I’d venture that we are 75% there! We have made major progress. This should not be surprising, as I have not posted in 3 weeks, much to the chagrin of friends and family back in the US. Sorry. I am terrible at keeping up onContinue reading “major progress, and a vacation for me!”
