Porcupine family




or maybe we could create a porcupine family portrait!

Group mosaic project for Thanksgiving weekend

There is a meetup on Thanksgiving Saturday for all this in town. This is great if you need some personal time, or want to share your mosaic interest with relatives or friends.

I was wondering what folks thought about using this meetup to create a group mosaic. When it is complete, we could donate it to a local charity auction. I was a thinking about a dog mosaic, then maybe donating to the SPCA - I know they accept such things for their anual auction.

Comments? Suggestions?

As tile and glass artist, I work in both the architectural and fine art spaces.
I use fused glass and mosaic art to create decorative items, fine art pieces, and architectural installations. Glass and tile are beautiful and lasting materials that allow a great range of expression, from a small candy dish to a full patio mosaic.

Much of my personal work incorporates themes of California including native poppies, fractured geology, and local architecture.

Art should be an expression of its owner and the context in which it is presented. My most satisfying projects are collaborations with clients that incorporate their
themes and materials into the finished piece, making it truly an expression of the owner.
