Mosaics in the works

Yesterday I finished gluing my newest piece (Rescue Me) for the Eco Art Show. I used a recycled window and stained glass scraps I got from Mel off of Craig's List.

Janine, from the Guild, is stopping over on Thursday to drop off some glass and a design so I can cut a rose for her with my glass saw.

I am working on mosaicking a little school house and a little girl, both wood and in 3-D

Possibilities: I've been emailing with Melissa about making mosaic planters for her. She knows what kind of design she wants and now needs to buy the pots.
