Life (and blogging) has been interrupted somewhat by our  kitchen-dining room (where we spend most our time) being out of use for two weeks, at one point with no floor! Despite it all, here’s been a lot of making going on – have a peek… Isabella’s butterfly slowly emerging… …and Toby’s Toucan! Some little mosaic […] Read more...

My newest piece of mosaic art…

“If music be the food of love…” Our first kiss. Our first dance. The slow, swaying embrace to gentle music as I whispered in your ear that I am carrying our baby. Precious moments, set in my heart forever by the music that entwined us. This piece is a beauty as it changes so much […] Read more...

Exploring the making process…silversmiths & mosaic artists speak
