When the art appears in my mind, I glue it down.
No, I don’t know why – or how – it just happens.
It helps to have a variety of fun things to add.
And … if I play with the pieces long enough, it becomes a real thing.
Carpe Diem. 🙂

P.S. Regarding the vintage mosaic tile images that were used in this post. These images have no known origin and have been in a craft box of mine since birth. :-)Thank you.
Hi Dave. 🙂
After Buddy passed in 2009, tilegypsy.com was born. Happy 10th Anniversary to us. 😉
Years earlier … my intention was to become a brick and mortar shop-keeper (I was) and tile artist (I am) who taught herself how to design websites (I did) and would live happily ever after until … the universe kept showing me the door … not once, (I’m not a quitter) not twice, (pack-unpack) but 1/2 dozen times. Thanks for your patience, Robbie.
When one of my intentions show up, I try really hard to honor it but this time was different. The wretched (being kind) side of the human element literally forced me – with a good pummeling – to get off my butt and take a completely different path. Bravo. Mara Lee, take a bow, you rock!
My suggestion after being shoved toward enlightenment is to … arm yourself with a case of Kleenex, Fiji water and plenty of snacks … that way you’ll have a better chance of riding the courage wave, until you reach the shore. You can do it water boy;) #hidave
