I took some time off this month to get some sun but it definitely put me behind schedule. Sometimes we need a breather to get away and rejuvinate. I always come back refreshed with new perspectives and my creative juices in overdrive. I have been working pretty steady the last week to try and get my next mosaic complete. My goal is to get this one done by Monday the 4th-hum,quite the challenge. I found the orange area hard to get the right color I wanted so resorted to putting in some smalti. Grouting will definitely take awhile since I have so many levels of tesserae within this. I also had to take out an area and redo it since I did not like how flow around the red flower. Once again, I am excited to grout it to see it all come together.

My next mosaic is still in the thought process. I am thinking of a moon garden theme or White on White with pattern and texture since I have been playing around with some Zentangle designs. It will be for the SAMA Salon.
