I finished another Torso. I call her Miss Scrappy, because i used all left over pieces of glass, hence the name Scappy!

Well, here is my latest experiment. My friend bought a bathing suit at Costco and the hanger was a plastic mold of a female. I had my guy fill it with cement and put a hanger on the back and wa'la....i have a torso to mosaic!

I urge all of you that are serious about mosaic art to join CMA (Contemporary Mosaic Art), here is the link.
mosaicsandceramics.ning.com
Sign up for acceptance, they do screen, as it is not a social network site, rather a site for mosaic artists. When prompted to, send photos etc. and you will be accepted. It takes a few days.
You cannot sell unless you are a paying advertiser. It is a great site for learning and inspiration.
In between commissions and i get a chance to work on my Virgin.
I am a proffessional mosaic artist and live in a one room palapa on the beach in a small town near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico called Bucerias. I have renovated a residential plaza that was located around the corner into an art center with 4 galleries, mosaic school, painting and cooking schools also. I founded a local art walk for all the galleries in town and now it just sounds like I am bragging! The summer of 2009 is going to be all about experimenting for me. First this blog, then I took some kite surfing lessons and next painting lessons!
