welcome

Welcome to my blog. I hope it provides you with some inspiration to get creative yourself, or to support a local artist nearby.
For beginners: Instead of repeating myself and explaining the process with each mosaic project I show- I have done the "How to Mosaic" posts previously- please find them on this blog too, if you need more information.-
Start your own project today! (It is easy and fun, and if done properly will outlast you and your grandchildren.)
Please follow this blog for more original ideas and mosaic tips.
