Okay, where have I been?!!

I unfortunately (or fortunately?) had to put the book aside while I completed a commission for my wonderful (YES! Wonderful!) dentist. Everybody should have a dentist like mine. If you're in the Santa Barbara area, sign up with Sonia Kim and her husband, Calvin Kim, immediately! They have the friendliest, warmest staff as well, and it is a pleasure to go.

So the past few times I've visited her, she has pulled up my web site on the monitor above me and praised the mosaic trees I've done (yes, while she cleans my teeth!). Last visit she asked me to make her two trees, one for herself and one for her in-laws. Here are the results. The one with the white and blue flowers, Sonia's Tree, is 8 1/2 x 16 3/4" and the other one, Spring, is 6 x 11 1/2".

It will be awhile before I get back to the book as I just started working on a large public commission for Central Texas Medical Center! Woo Hoo! Pictures to come soon...

    Oh beautiful Christine. I have such a thing about trees, once my workshop has been finished (currently being insulated ready for winter!) I am going to get to mosaicing some trees!

    Congrats Christine.
    I am not too crazy about dentists.... but dentists who love mosaics is a different story :-)

    Hi Christine, Your trees are fabulous...lucky dentist I am looking for a good one but Santa Barbara is a bit far to go. Congratulations on your commission. I am curious as to how you landed it. How wonderful. Are you submitting to SAMA this year? I am nose to the glass and working like a crazy person to finish mine to submit hopefully to sama before the deadline of November 1. Hope you are well. I am following your blog. I started one too.It's http://doreencreativeartmosaics.blogspot.com

    Thanks Doreen! An art consultant found me, I'm assuming online. I don't see myself submitting to SAMA this year. I don't have anything new and don't have time to make something before the deadline. Oh well, maybe next year! Looking forward to your latest Alice piece!
