Grouting the mural
Here you can see I am grouting the glass pieces in black grout ( my favorite) . Taking a break from the last women's hair I am doing alittle grouting.
The Women ......
A better view of the 6 women on the mural....Keep watching...The faces are painted in oils. The whole project is constructed out of 4x8 sheets of plywood
in a frame of 2x4s for strength then all 3 panels are bolted together to become one 12'x8' mural. and there are braces and legs in the back to stand up. Very heavy with all the glass and grout.

Women of Strength
In this glass mosaic I have painted the face of the woman here in oils. She is a woman of strength.
This is an example of the technique that I am using for my project for the competition in Grand Rapids Michigan." ArtPrize" .
My message is to all the woman out there in the world, their strength is in a community of women.
Together we can prosper, be secure, happy , conquer to opposition ,take care of each other and remain beautiful and dignified.

My Meditation Pond
I had this vision one day to create a quiet place in my yard , a place to sit and meditate. Listening to the sound of water falling...I love to make things from nothing , beautiful areas. I started with the back drop made from old thrown out windows and columns. Built this screen with the curtains to gently flow in the breeze. Then I started on the pond. Asked for somewhere to find rocks , a friend dropped me off a truck load of them. WOW! Dug the shape to fit the pond liner I had from a previous job, built the sides up with bricks. Made the back taller for the waterfall.
Everything you see in this photo was given to me.
The 2 pine trees, the plants around the pond, the 2 old adirondack chairs , there is a small dogwood tree. The gazing globe and stand was made by my son the welder. The bark chips are from the city from chipped up trees. Its possible to have beauty even though you might not be rich, I am rich in talents and friends! THANK YOU
