Breaking Up


I have found that breaking things can be very therapeutic, sometimes I even get a little lightheaded and giddy, especially if I can make something grand from the wreakage. Thats why I love to create mosaics. You can break old bathroom tiles, plates, teacups, crockery , stained glass, just about anything....and out of all those shattered pieces and glorious hammering, create something beautiful. Yes, to chip, break, and whack is devine!

I agree! Breaking stuff is the best! Except, when you do it by accident. Then it is just annoying.

And then it's like magic cos you get to create all these beautiful work from those broken pieces!

i too love mosaics. one of the most powerful mosaics i ever saw was in a new house recently built as the old had burned down. the mosaic consisted of broken dishes and other remnants of now burned up memories.

i love the idea of creating beauty out of that which is no longer. yours is simply gorgeous. wonderful job.

Using old broken bits and pieces in my art gives me a huge thrill too. I love the mosaic you have created. There is so much movement in the piece and I get the distinct feeling of water.

My Favorite Photo
I'm the twin troll on the right
I was born a twin, although I was the first one to appear, so maybe that makes me the normal one. Anyway, my mother was fond of Toni perms in the 50's and thought our straight blond hair could reap the benefits of that products curly promises......questionable! The hair solution was so nasty all the windows and doors had to be opened, any food product left out on a counter had a slight mystery flavor, the cat stayed outside for a week. And the end result...well, my twin and I refer to that period as the "duelling Bozo's"
