SPRING TO MY FRONT DOOR
from
a long time blogger friend, Ramona, at
She is a very very very x 100 talented artist. Mom has admired her work for
many years. Several months ago mom commissioned a very special piece.
As you can see there are 3 things mom loves in the
piece ME, Dogwoods and Ruby-throat hummingbirds
I was so excited to sniff and admire it
I think Putter Jean left me some smell mail
Oh my word mom Ramona even had glass
the exact color of my eyes
Ok now it is officially marked and labeled
as Madi's
Now for a close up. I cannot begin to tell
you exactly how Ramona does this but I
do know she sketches the objects on
wood cut by her hubby, aka The Keeper.
She finds glass, dishes and beads to fill in the
sketch. I am truly amazed by her work
she can create absolutely anything!!
I believe she finds most of her glass from dishes and glassware at yard sales. She has a glass crusher
too. I sent her pictures of dogwoods, hummers and
YES Ramona it is exactly what I had in mind
actually it is 200% better than what I had in mind
YOUR TALENT REFLECTS THE TLC WITH WHICH YOU CREATE EACH PIECE.
HUGS MADI AND MOM

ReplyDeleteI might have made this comment twice!
It seems I can't type mosaics!!
DeleteI'm so glad it was Madi approved and I'm sure Putter Jean did jump on it a time or three while I was working on it. So happy that it met your expectations Cecilia.
ReplyDeletelol.....all my friends now know I do mosaics and contribute all the time to my massive pile of tesserae. One friend called and wanted to know if I wanted a front end bucket full of broken tile! Had to pass on that one, cause family was home for the holidays and couldn't go get it right then. Quite a distance away too.
They save all broken dishes, jewelry and anything glass to add to my pile too.
Thanks to everyone for all the compliments.
