A few folks have asked what I have been working on. First, let me say thanks for asking. I really do enjoy that folks are interested in my art.
I donated a few pieces to a fund raiser at
Messiah Lutheran Church in Madison, Alabama. Messiah holds a fund raiser every year called the Handmade Market. This event is used to raise money for the
Lunches for Learning Charity. Lunches for Learning provides a lunch every day for elementary school students in Honduras. Before the Lunches for Learning program, children would drop out of elementary school to look for/beg for food. That sucks. Lunches for Learning keeps the kids in school by providing a meal. And kids in Honduras who graduate from the sixth grade are much less likely to live in poverty. I like the idea of giving kids a meal and a better chance at a successful life at the same time. $15 bucks feeds a kid for a month. I figure that the pieces I donated will keep a few kids fed for the entire year.

I have also been working on my frame stock. This weekend I cut down 64 feet of lumber into frame pieces and began gluing them together. Check out the full process to prepare a frame here.

I have also been working on a few duplicates of previous mosaics. Never fear, I have a few new pieces planned in the near future.
