I replied that perhaps my house was getting a bit "gaudi-esque" with all the …

I knew my front step wasn't finished... It just seemed like it needed something more, so I decided to make a mosaic "welcome mat". I love being able to "mark up" photos to get ideas for how something might look. Here I was experimenting with the flower idea. Finally I was done, and laid it …

“Why Mosaic?” Part 2

On July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 By nanasworldweb12 Comments

Why mosaic? Let me count the reasons... When you are working on a mosaic, there is no pandemic. There is no street violence. There is no stress. There is nothing but color, texture, and design. It is a true escape. It's so much fun to see a new pattern developing!It's also fun to see the …

The Elephant in the Room

On March 19, 2020 By nanasworldweb6 Comments

Once there was a guest room... And because there were grandchildren, there were bunk beds.And because there was a cat, there was always someone to get up on the top bunk when the grandchildren weren't over. But then a queen size bed was added to the guest room. This did pose a few challenges, not …

I thought she was done... But I guess I should have known that with Mom you never can tell. So when she started bringing home all these little blue tiles I had a feeling something was up. The blue made me think of the sea animals mosaic in the bathtub. If you read "See? Animals!"  …

"I just want to drink coffee and make pretty things!" I've used that quote before, in "Coffee and Pretty Things", but it is so true for me that I had to use it again. In fact, I think I need to change it to "I just want to drink coffee and make everything!" So I …
