How is it possible that it's been so long? Where does the time go? Rather than try to back track, I'm going to just jump right into telling you about 2 cool projects I'm working on right now.

First, I had the total pleasure of sharing the art of mosaic with the women at Florence House a few weeks ago. Florence House is a home for chronically homeless women in Portland Maine. All of the women were so welcoming, and I loved seeing them get their creative juices flowing. Each woman made a mosaic flower, and now I'm putting them all into a garden mosaic that will hang in the entryway at Florence House. Here are some of their beautiful creations!



Then, the following week I was off to a small school in West Bath, Maine. There, I talked to the kids about mosaic art, showed them my work, and talked to them a bit about life as an artist. I've never met a group of 3rd graders that were so inquisitive! There were so many questions that I was afraid we would run out of time for them to create their own mosaic! The introduction to making mosaic that I gave them was for each of them to make a paper mosaic. Kids are so creative... it was great to see what they came up with. They don't know it yet, but coming up next month, they'll be visiting my studio, where they will each be making a mosaic leaf for a tree mural I'm creating for the school's entryway. What a fun day it will be when I see a school bus pull up outside the studio!!!


Other than these two great projects, my goal this week is to finally get this sunrise at Portland Headlight mosaic listed for sale...



... and to finish this mosaic of one of my favorite rocks in our little cove.




I'll try to be better about posting updates. Weird... I feel like I've said that before...
