Too Long

Been far too long since I've been able to create something. Between fundraising, teaching, contracts, and having pneumonia there has just been no time.

Well, last night while in the basement doing laundry I peeked around the corner to my area where I mosaic. Suddenly I had to sit down and work on a project that has been sitting in the same spot for 3 months. Dang, it felt good!!!

This is not a very artistic creation, but one that I've had in mind to do. So about 32 months ago I gathered all the things to make it, and there it sat. Till now.

Here are a few images of the work/progress so far.




My goal is to finish this project by the end of next week. Not sure if I can do that with everything going on, but anytime I can steal is going into this.

Feels good to make something again.

Play Me a Melody

After several weeks of doing nothing creative, I finally finished the mosaic guitar I had started the first of July. It was all done except for the grout, but sat in the bat cave waiting for two weeks.

Grout color is always the most difficult choice for me to make. So I made up my mind I was going to finish it and move on, and try to find my creative energy again. This is the outcome.


The materials used were sheet music, crash/tempered glass, MAC glue, acrylic paint, grout, mirror, Lucite, stained glass and dye. All in all I am pleased with the piece, in particular the technical side of the work, just not sure what to do with it now. Ideas?

This piece made me take a step back and realize I need to take a break form mosaics. Although I love doing them I'm just not sure I am as good at them as I would like. Being a perfectionist that is a hard one. Do I sound whiny? Cause now I'm annoying myself...

On a different note it is Erev Shabbos! And of course I am in the process of getting everything done. So I gotta jet back to work.

This week's parsha is Re'eh.
