So, here is the second mosaic I created for Healing From the Ashes. I found a plate that provided the blue sky. It wasn't recovered from the fire but was recycled. The butterfly came from stoneware bowl or plate; while the black is either a Crockpot or a big ramekin and the red is a ceramic vase, and both of those I used for "Fire Dragon" as well.
I dropped off both mosaics at the "gallery" being put together in the old Century 21 office at 8263 Foothill, in Sunland. Almost half of the artwork has been delivered by the various participating artists and after perusing the work, I am convinced that this is going to be a wonderful show! The piece on the postcard looks even better in person and I, for one, would love to hang it in my living room!
Interestingly enough, the local Rotary has thrown its support behind this exhibit and series of events and one of the people very much involved is Richard Stewart, about whom I wrote earlier in my blog regarding his artful rock piles! He was at the gallery with Susan, who I finally and happily met. Six degrees of separation...
