"Bovine's Rest" by Scott Harrower




I'll just add a close -up and also a photo of the Scott Harrower art piece that Greg gave me for our anniversary. You can tell the master from the very new apprentice!
Am now doing the cartoon for my next project "Valentina's Seat"...something completely different. I'll Keep you posted!

The completed mosaic
In the studio we put a light cement grout and render on the hebel stone to make it look like the mosaic was coming out of the stone.


Well I got it near to finished for Valentine's Day. It was on the stone but ungrouted and I wasn't sure where I wanted to go from there. It looked unfinished. Took it back to class Tues evening and here's the finished product. Yes Greg does love it.

well my eyes are popping out of my head but I'm almost there! The mosaic that is. I have to stop getting these urges to create things at the last minute and plan ahead so that I spend more time on projects in order to master and refine the processes....but here I am again up til 2.30am in order to meet the deadline! Not good for school the next day
anyway here are a couple of shots of the work in progress. It's going to be put on a stone so the design is actually back to front here. Should all come together Monday with the help of the brilliant master Scott..

hw my garden grows.

After admiring clever daughter's amazing creations ... and they are amazing, I thought i'd better get to this blog and compose something! My only creative outlet lately is the vegie garden. I was so inspired by my visit to the Solomon's and the wonderful time i had gardening with the girls that i was in my backyard the day after I got back. We finished the wallaby/bandicoot/brush turkey/every other bird proof igloo and now the cabbages etc are thriving. this photo was taken in early days before the rains. Cabbages now tripled in size!

Also visited mum and was overjoyed to see her recovery. And Nan who'll be 96 next week!

Well what fun creating a blog with the help of the genius daughter! I hope this will inspire me to nurture my creative instincts and that I'll have something to post on the blog! Watch this space.....
