I love art. I get that from my mom, who is good at almost any art that comes her way. I, on the other hand, am normally not good at it, but I do it anyway!
So when our pastor's wife - a local artisan - offered a mosaic class to our church's members, Mom and I both jumped at the chance. Over two sessions, with a little homework, we each created a masterpiece for our house.
Here's Mom's, an abstract piece that works with the colors of our house:
Here's mine. It's sort of "impressionist" - it's supposed to "be" something, but it might not be obvious. Can you tell what?
If you're interested in creating your own masterpiece, The York Town Craft Guild offers classes just like the ones we took, also by Lynn Gilbert. Check their site for details; the next two-class mosaic session will be Oct. 24 and Nov. 14. They offer tons of other classes, too, so if breaking glass isn't your thing, maybe you can find another new hobby! I know I will definitely be making more of these in the future.
Awesomeness! I'm impressed:)
So cool! People pay big bucks for art like this.
(It's a tree? I love it, regardless.)
