Having a hopping good time?

Big frog inside Sydney airport, originally uploaded by lloydi.

This beastie can be found in the international terminal at Sydney Airport. Now I've flown out of there a number of times but I cannot remember ever seeing this sculpture. I'll have to keep my eye out next time I head out.

Thank God nobody decided to mosaic a cane toad. It's actually a Green and Gold Bell Frog.

Society of American Mosaic Artists

The Society of American Mosaic Artists.
If you can make it here, you have made it.

From workshops to supplies to featured artists and exhibitions…
And if you are really serious about mosaic as a medium this is the place where new opportunities are often publicised.

Another person’s journey in mosaics…

Mosaic Mom

So far I have finished a table top, finished a panel on Opus regulatum, finished a panel on Opus tessalatum, finished a panel on Opus Sectile, finished a Bee rock, and finished a Dragonfly rock.

I have started a panel on Opus circulatum, started a wooden shoe, started a flower pot, and started a panel on Opus vermiculatum.

Yet somehow I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished much. Why is that? Must be tired.

I read that and felt exhausted! But it is interesting seeing what other people are doing, the things they are learning…

Coasting along…

Something simple that doesn't take a lot of time at all, and is cheap and easy to make. Instant gifts. Here's what some of the keen mosaickers on flickr have been making…

Saving the world from Space Invaders?
These mosaics are a little more involved. I have images of a mosaicist creeping around at night armed with little Mega Men on mesh and a tube of Weldbond or Liquid Nails…

A Community Celebration

Read the sriteup of the mosaic. It’s a good story of a community coming together and collaborating on an art project.
The mosaic is pretty special too.

Stories like this really show how important public art is to the wellbeing of a community.
