Here it is...the sign over the studio door. This will be a great test of the polymer modified thinset! I want to know it outdoor mosaics in Utah can hold up to our harsh temperature extremes. I hope so! I have several other "tests" going on as well, including a little tile horse in my rock garden. Ceramic tile (porous!) is asking for trouble with the snow and ice we get all winter, but I need to know if it will stick. If it's still there this time next year I will be amazed!

More on that next time.....

Studio Sign!

Well, I guess it's about time. I have finally created a studio sign. Haven't got it hung yet, but I will mount it above the door to my studio tomorrow. Salt Creek Mosaics has been around for four years now, and I'll finally look official!

This is a pieced-together version of the sign--three pics merged into one. I'll post a better one tomorrow when it is in place. This at least will show some detail.

A Bump In Life's Road

Things are slowing down somewhat from the last few weeks and I am hoping to get some serious studio time. So many projects in my head and not enough time to get them done! I am currently working on a permanent mosaic sign for my studio. May actually even get completed this week! Ha! Like I would seriously even consider predicting that, since road bumps always get in the way!

My beautiful sweet endurance mare has been diagnosed with an OCD bone chip in her hock and will have surgery the week after next. Ouch on the pocketbook. Sigh. I am listing several mosaics at rock bottom prices in hopes of raising the money to help pay for this very expensive procedure. She is young and healthy and I feel she has every good chance of a strong recovery, so I am going forward with this. Prayers and positive thoughts our way are appreciated. Also, please pass this link to all your friends. (Also see www.gloryofthewind.blogspot.com for more details.)
