About Bits and Pieces

This blog will document the process of creating a public art piece for the City of Avondale. The art piece will be a mosaic on a half wall in front of the police substation on Western Avenue in Old Town Avondale. The theme is "Police and Community". I will be working with Mrs. Sondra Davis and her art students at Agua Fria High School.

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.
