[P3 Guild] Mosaic Challenge 2013

The Philippine Polymer Clay Guild recent;y concluded their Mosaic Challenge.  You can read about it HERE.

My entry was #12 - I made a 4x6" frame with the phrase:  "Hope Springs Eternal" by A. Pope.

It was my first time to make a complicated mosaic.  I started by drawing the design on a graph paper and placing it under the 4x6" glass that came with the frame.  The mosaic tiles were assembled and baked on the glass.

I used the Rocky Path technique to make the bottom layer, to make it appear organic.

The orange and yellow flowers were made from polymer canes.  These were layered accordingly.

I like the finished product - it looks like a backdrop of a cascading water fountain.

Thank you for visiting the Guild's page and this blog.

Have a wonderful day!

[Focus on Life] Week 19: Hope

Welcome to Week 19 of Focus on Life by Ms. Sally Russick! 

HOPE.

It is always a comfort to see light in the midst of darkness.  That, to me is Hope.

HOPE

This is a very timely prompt in my case.  I missed last weeks' Focus on Life: Abstract because 

hubby and I were busy helping out our friends.  It was a very physical and emotional week as 2 of our good friends were 

brought to the hospital - one due to bleeding and the other due to complications of dialysis.  

Oh, it brought our group of friends to our knees praying and hoping that everything will be alright.

My hope is in God.  

Lamentations 3:25 says

"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him."

Today, both our friends are post surgery and on their way to recovery.  

When you feel like you are in the dark, be assured that there is a light that can guide your way.

Be blessed!
