Mosaics......


Just released!  




A beautiful and inspiring book....


by Elizabeth Atkins-Hood (my friend Bid) and Elizabeth 'Joy' Bell

 ....whom I had the great pleasure to get to know on my trip last year to New Zealand.  They join the ranks of more than a few of my friends who are publishing wonderful inspiring books!

This book is filled with beautiful photographs of their work and those of others who have inspired them......with tips and projects that will be sure to inspire anyone who has ever had the urge to 'nibble' at glass and tile.......

and how timely....

since.....



our little town has imbarked on yet another public mosaic mural project 


This one depicting the town's history and surrounding flora and fauna....

my contribution is the floral in the center....
(a loose interpretation of the 'globe mallow' by a western newcomer!)


and this mural......

will be quite large.....


as always...

requiring many hands to make it!
