MOSAIC ARTIST IN THE GROUP artist 3

On that Thursday night in Paris, talking over dessert and creating around the table, there was a mosaic artist in our group.  

She told us about a commission she did for a church, in Santa Barbara, CA. 
Instead of working on a 3 fold accordion book she chose a tag, cutting & pasting lots of little pieces, like she was creating a mosaic.
I've used the tags with other groups.  It always amazes me what creatives come up with, designing in such a compact space. 




As you see in the photo above, she took a turn sharing the 'story' behind her piece.

Moving on to other experiences in Paris in the next posts.

A MOVING COLLAGE in PARIS artist 2

A couple of my photos of the Thursday evening artists were out of focus. I Photoshopped them in the film grain filter - kind of embracing the blur!


With glue stick in hand, this artist really went at it! 

Her collage was amazing! 


She designed-outside of the borders of the tri-fold book, with movable parts even. 




I bet she was a fun person! 

Her playful nature came out in her artwork!
