For those of you who are artists looking to sell, UneARTh<\/a> is a new online gallery (international) with 10 % commission. I just sold a piece through it (very exciting). Do check it out as its new and they are looking for artists to populate it.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you are a mosaic artist, check out this video about the installation of an awesome (and huge!) mosaic at the University of Iowa. It is made by Gary Drostle (and a host of helpers) who is an amazing public art mosaicist from South London.

The latest online version UK Handmade Magazine here<\/a> (not just for Brits!).  Great features, including hot to carve a squash<\/i> lantern (very lovely). <\/p>\n
