In the groove

My Tettegouche State Park Visitors Center art show has me churning out mosaics at an alarming rate! I’ve made 5 new pieces in the last couple of weeks – and I’m planning to have 5 more ready to add to the series before Memorial Day weekend. I’m waiting to grout all of my new pieces until I have all 10 complete – or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. I’m already itching to see how they look once they have that dark-grout pop!

My theory for why I’m able to work so fast on these particular pieces is that they have a set focal point – something to easily obsess over while I’m working. The water tower above has clear-cut lines and shapes in order to make it look right.

Sometimes I’m able to hone in on the colors that are needed. It’s hard to work on a piece when you don’t have the right glass for it, so choosing subject matter that fits my glass inventory is typically my best option.
