“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.” ― Albert Einstein

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…” ― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

“We’ve taken the world apart but we have no idea what to do with the pieces.” ― Chuck Palahniuk

I love doing mosaic on tables.

Here is the latest.

When I broke the plates to use, I realized that it was not ceramic but glass covering paper. Instead of breaking as intended, it shattered.

I decided to use it anyway, even though it was not as I had originally planned.

I swear all my projects look much better in person than in pictures 🙂
