Seasons in Mosaic I said I wanted more art in my life.  Isn't this beautiful?   I spent the weekend at an Intro to Mosaics with Michelena of Wolf Willow Studios in the community of Spruce Cliff in Calgary.  I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend-you should attend!   It's so lovely to pick colors, smash pottery, cut things up and get your hands mucky in the grout.  The best part is to finally clean away the gunk and find your treasure.    Happy Art Making!
