The colors of a stained glass window when the sun shines through is magical, but in a mosaic piece the grout is what makes the colors pop. I have been working with stained glass for over twenty years. I love the sound of the score, breaking and cutting of the glass. The pictures you can create with pieces of glass are endless. It is so exciting to see the final project and selling a piece of art is thrilling. E-mail me if you are interested in purchasing a piece of art.

2012 One Little Word
Many of my blog friends have a One Little Word that they will focus on for the New Year. How cool to focus on a word instead of making resolutions that I know I will not keep. So here is my One Little Word for Year 2012 - FOCUS. Focus on what you say. It's not a matter of what, it's more a matter of staying Focused. They say a child's attention span is short. Well, I believe as I get older my attention span is getting shorter. I find myself losing focus on what I am doing. I get easily distracted and sometimes don't finish what I was doing. I can be working on a project, reading a book or just cleaning. I jump from one thing to the next and don't accomplish very much. So my one little word (FOCUS) is to remind me to keep my attention on what I am doing so that I do finish what I am working on so that at the end of the day I feel like I have accomplished something.

I altered this old pair of my son's glasses for my work desk to remind me to stay focused at work. I then mounted it in an old picture frame I had in my craft room. Because the glasses are bulky, I had to remove the glass from the small picture frame which now gives my project a cool 3D effect. I started to journal what I was going to focus on this year, for instance, Health, Family, Religion, Work, Exercise. Then I reminded myself that it was One Little Word and felt I needed to keep it simple. I am happy with how it came out and I think it will look great in my office.
