Odds and Ends

It is funny how the academic year still lingers on, even when you are no longer in education. In museum and gallery education there is the change of emphasis between schools and more informal activities. This year is the first year I have been able to concentrate on my own designing and making as leading workshops seems to have been thin on the ground - many museums doing this with in-house staff I think?

Now that I am ever so slightly obsessed by little glass tiles and sticking them onto backboards, I snuck off to my studio to see what I could do with some of the leftovers from the last two mosaic commissions. Talk about fiddling whilst Rome is burning - however, I did have a very enjoyable afternoon making this... still to be grouted though so I might experiment with some coloured grout again.

Have just heard from a new client that she loved the designs I sent and will speak later about the commission. A small one but another wall to decorate! This time a lizard and a dragonfly so a chance to use some beautiful shimmering blue/green glass tile. Can't wait! I'll post the drawn design when I get the go ahead.
