Work in Process Pictures
Many months after completion of the project, I finally got around to uploading most of the pictures I took while the art piece was in process.

Help
I realize this post may not really belong here, but I need your help.
My oldest daughter lives in Sweden. She finished her masters degree in graphic design at the University of Gothenburg in 2013. She decided to stay in Sweden and has been trying to find full time employment since then. She is working online, taking on small design jobs, but has not had any luck finding a regular, full time job to support herself.
This morning she set up a link to a site called PATREON, where people can support their favorite artist, or help out a struggling artist to make ends meet.
I am not asking for you to donate, if you are not comfortable with it, but if you would please re post the link to your social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter etc., it would help greatly.
here is the link ( which also has links to her sketch book and other work)

thank you so much for helping a struggling artist succeed.

Finished Mosaic Pictures
Well, the mosaic has been finished since January 9th, and was dedicated in April. It has taken over a year, from conception to finish.
Here are just a few pictures of the finished mosaic.
We faced many challenges with this project: from gophers damaging the wires to the kilns, and rendering them inoperable for over a week, when the final deadline was looming, to the gold on the center piece not turning gold. Many times I spent the night worrying, instead of sleeping because of this, but in the end, it all turned out well.
This is my 3rd public art piece for the City of Avondale, and maybe in the future I will consider creating another one, but for now I am still trying to get my household back in order, which has been neglected for over a year and is a huge mess.
