My guide "How to Learn Mosaic, Train Your Dog, and Do Your Laundry" guide is a tongue-in-cheek nod to
the busy woman, but it's not far from the truth.
If you're as busy as I am these days, you might
want to consider this craft; it does hold the key to combining various aspects of your life into one
creative endeavor. For instance, do you have a lot of drawers full of keepsakes and family trinkets
you've been meaning to do something with..shadow boxes, scrap-books, etc.? And doesn't it make you feel
guilty when you think about how you really need to do something with those things to get them up and
on display? I have drawers and boxes of things like that...old watches, medals, ribbons, photos, post-cards,
newspaper clippings...That's the beauty of Pique Assiette mosaic. You can blend china shards with found
objects and treasures, and even images, in a way that's unique and fun. Another area we all struggle
with is the constant errands and wait-time we end of with in the course of the day.
What if, while
waiting in an airport, you stopped into the gift shop and found a small magnet or trinket that would
be perfect in one of your mosaics? Or, as happened to me last year, while at the giant pet food store,
I spotted the dog-biscuit bar, and realized that these could be varnished and incorporated into one of
my dog frames. What happens is that every-day routines turn into exciting opportunites that you might
have missed otherwise. Check out one of my lessons, and see if you don't start looking at your "everyday"
life as the extraordinary, fascinating life it really is
