Spain Trip

Seville 1999- Plaza de Espana, Bridge of Lions

Picture
You wouldn’t know it now, but when I was in school I studied Spanish for 4.5 years.  My senior year of high school I was lucky enough to travel to Spain for 10 days as part of the Spanish Club.   Up until that point I hadn’t traveled beyond New England, and I remember being so impressed by the beautiful artwork I was exposed to on the trip.  Even the city walkways were beautifully tiled.  It was my first exposure to professional mosaics, and I loved it!  Recently I have been seeing mosaic courses offered as vacation packages, and the premier destination (after Italy) seems to be Spain.  I feel fortunate that I have had the opportunity to visit Seville, Madrid, Cordoba, Granada, and Costa Del Sol.  The next time I make it to Spain, I will have to see Gaudi's works in Barcelona. I suspect I could spend 10 days in Barcelona alone!

I particularly enjoyed mosaics when visiting  Alhambra en Granada:

 We saw ancient Roman mosaics when visiting the Archaeological Ensemble of Italica:

It seemed everywhere I looked I saw beautiful tiles, colors, and inspiration!  Little did I know at the time, I would soon be making mosaics of my own!

I have been making mirrors lately.  I am happy to say, after buying mirror at 4 different places, I have finally found mirror of the quality I expect.  Who knew it would be so hard?!  This finished mirror is 18" x 18".  I am ready to grout a green version, which I have enjoyed working on around Saint Patrick's Day.  Pictures of that to come soon!

Mannequin Challenge

I recently acquired some mannequins and have exciting plans for them.  My husband was gracious enough to go pick them up, but he couldn't resist posting a picture of them on Facebook.  He used the hashtag:
#misunderstoodmannequinchallenge
I had to laugh.  I'm glad he supports me in my endeavors-because these are going to be awesome!  Until then, they will be in the basement where they will likely freak out the furnace guy when he does his yearly furnace check.
