Contemporary Mosaic Artists Meet in So Cal

by

I was fortunate enough to meet with a group of mosaic artists today for lunch. The meet up was organized by the founder of the web site for mosaic artists, CMA, Contemporary Mosaic Artists. I’ve mentioned the site on this blog before and think if you’re a dedicated mosaic artist this is a site for you to join. Pam Givens put all of this together, both the web site and the lunch today, and she does an amazing job of bringing together like minded people that share a passion for mosaic.

Todays group included a couple of the ladies that work for Piece by Piece, an organization that I have mentioned here quite a few times, Luz and Dawn. There was one of my favorite friends and glass goddesses around, Leigh Adams, who also works with Piece by Piece. There was a lovely couple, Azia and Louise, whose house in Santa Monica is a mosaic piece of art (that’s a whole other post!). The group was rounded out by Brian, Carole, Sue, Mary, who has a mosaic gallery right in my neighborhood, and Ginny, and of course, Pam. Everyone here will get a profile of their own…and I think a good time was had by all!!

Etsy Spotlight: Whole Store Bundle – Sewing Patterns

Okay, sewing friends… this one’s a total dream come true! If you’re anything like me and you love the thrill of planning your next sewing project before you’ve even finished the current one, then you’re going to fall head over heels for this Whole Store Bundle of sewing patterns. ?

This incredible bundle includes all the patterns from the shop – and it’s packed with flattering, wearable designs for every season, occasion, and mood. From breezy summer dresses to elegant staples you can layer up in cooler weather, this collection covers everything.

Here’s why I’m extra excited about this:

 It’s an amazing value – seriously, the cost of just a few patterns gives you access to the whole lot.

 Perfect for a capsule wardrobe – you can mix and match these pieces endlessly, customizing fabrics and lengths to your personal style.

Great for upcycling too – imagine giving old curtains, tablecloths, or thrifted fabric a whole new life as a chic handmade outfit!

Whether you’re just getting into garment sewing or you’ve been stitching up your own wardrobe for years, this bundle is a total win. And let’s be honest… there’s nothing better than saying, “Thanks! I made it myself.”
