“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” ―
Here is another piece I just finished. I like to use old paintings that I find in stores or tag sales. It serves two purposes: First, it already has a frame, often it is antique and beautiful. Second, it gives me a starting point, an inspiration, even though the end result is, oftentimes, much different, as you can see below:
Doing mosaic art is my happy place, and I I love discovering that I do have some creative bone in my body.
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” ― Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

I am not sure yet. But for now I think I want to keep them all. I have this idea of one day renting a gallery space and having a champagne reception so I can show them all together to my friends.
Wishing you a blessed week! ♥♥

Thank you for sharing photos of your wonderful work!!.. well done!!… “When you are truly inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project… your mind transcends its limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world! Then those dormant forces, faculties and talents inside you become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” (Patanjali )… 🙂
Until we meet again…
May your day be touched
by a bit of Irish luck,
Brightened by a song
in your heart,
And warmed by the smiles
of people you love.
