DreamMosaics Studio updates

I finished a panel of the kitchen backsplash today - and finished a mosaic mirror yesterday. I hope to complete some more pieces that have been "work in progress" for quite some time. I have one mosaic wall piece, a fine silver box, and some jewelry pieces to finish. I also have the fine silver mask and a mosaic wall piece to finish up for the dream art exhibit.

I received four more entries for Artists in Dreamland today. The jury meets tomorrow to review the artwork and the dreams that inspired the work. I'm not sure I've counted right, but I think we now have 38 entries to take a look at tomorrow. I will post the results on http://www.Dreamartshow.com and http://www.DreamMosaics.com on Friday night. Then I'll contact each artist with the results over the weekend.

Studios news

I'm kilning my newest PMC pieces today - some will be tile for mosaics, some will be barrettes, some will be who-knows-what.

I have two mirrors started with fused glass pieces as focal points - now need to finish them.

I have the bubbles done for the birdbath pedestal. Tomorrow I will thinset them on and then start the movement of mosaic pieces up the pedestal.

The kitchen backsplash is coming along - need to install it and see where we are on the wall.

I'm stuck on the concrete dream-inspired sculpture - it's more about lack of time and energy to do it. So maybe it'll be ready for the dream art exhibit next year, as the altered book I started.

The deadline for entries for the Artists in Dreamland art show is Tuesday March 10th - I'll be at Poudre River Arts Center from 10 to 4 or so. If you need an extension, please let me know - the jury meets on Friday so we have a couple more days if you need it. I will post the accepted pieces on http://www.Dreamartshow.com and http://www.DreamMosaics.com - probably will email the artists too.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I love the new year - I think about and plan what do I want to do and learn this year - new art media to try. I feel more energy and to expand and learn I think.

I'm scheduled for a couple of art classes - one is next Tuesday and one is scheduled for that weekend, the 17th and 18th. The first is a Klimt-style painting class, which I'm really excited about. The second class is the Level I PMC Certification class. The talented Peggy Houchin will be teaching the class. Her website is: http://www.bellabeadsandwax.com

FYI mosaic enthusiasts - my mosaic office coasters, magnets, crosses and inspiration cubes will be at the Bellevue Store this weekend, starting Friday night. Bev always puts on a nice art opening party on Friday night complete with wine, cheese, and other goodies - I hope you can make it!

Dream art lovers - the Dream Art Exhibit will be April 19 to May 16 2009 at the Poudre River Arts Center in Fort Collins again! This year the dream narrative will accompany the piece of art in the exhibit. This will give our visitors a unique opportunity to experience the dream as well as the art piece that was created as a result.

I have invited a number of artists who create dream art to participate in the exhibit. So far Dee Dee Hampton and Karen Endres have agreed to have some of their pieces in the exhibit, which is exciting.

I am still looking for more artists who interpret their dreams through the creation of art. All media! Email me at dreammosaics@comcast.net if you are interested in having your dream art portfolio reviewed.

Mosaic on!
