FrOnT MoSaiC PaTh PlaN




Ok, I digress from weaving for a moment.

I volunteered at the door of the coffee house last night, so I brought paper and a pencil. I have had a mosaic path plan, brewing for about four years, and here it is mapped out. This will lead to the main door of my funky design studio. People will LOVE to walk over it on their way in. Hey, it's another reason to come by and see what goes on INSIDE my studio.

Now hopefully, my 86 year old friend still has the set of yellow, 1920's chipped dishes, available for me to nip up with the tile nippers! His dishes have been in the family since before he married his wife, of 63 years! The funky purple, 1" tiles, (with the metallic strands through them) that I collected, are here, and ready to go, as well as an eclectic collection of broken china, dishes, and beach glass. This is going to be fun! I will be indebted to my multi-talented friend Debra for her expert tutelage about mosaic!

Next time, I'll probably post something about fibre arts, clothing design, woodworking, or my recent trip to Watts Towers, in Los Angeles.
