Expressions and Mosaic Monday...

I made another piece for the monthly challenge from, Art Bead Scene Blog. If you'd like to read about this months challenge please go here. It's about a lovely painting by Paul Klee, Insula Dulcamara. Also, if you would like to see this months entries please go here.
For this piece my good friend, Marie Segal from Art From My Heart made this beautiful cabochon. I found through Maire Segal's Artbead/Cab that the colors were rich and inviting as found in Klee's painting. Then, even though the colors I chose in this piece are a bolder expression then found in Klee's work, I still felt the connection between them. Thus, I'd like to introduce to you:
Expressions


I would like to thank Mary from Little Red House for being our lovely hostess for all our Mosaic Monday's. I very much enjoy looking at all the beautiful mosaic pictures that our friends here in Blogland have made! If you would please to stop in at Mary's she'd love to have you! So this is for you Mary...Thank you so much!
This week I decided to try something a lil bit different for Mosaic Monday, I hope you enjoy what I've done.


I do want to apologize for not posting a lot this week, I haven't been feeling good and I had another surgery. I'm home but I've been resting. I hope to be back on track very soon!
Thanks so much for stopping in today and I hope that you have a beadiful day! So...until the next time, Bead Happy!
Hugs and happy beading...
Bobbi

I love your necklace and adore the way you made your mosaic. Very pretty. All your furbabies are so cute. Rocky is so pretty. The first time I ever saw the brindle coloring was on a boxer. I couldn't believe how gorgeous it was.

Cyndar we found roaming the back roads (I thought she was a calf!)and no one ever claimed her. She had puncture holes up and down her back legs. Our vet belieives she was used in a puppy mill and somehow got away. She made herself right at home immediatley. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
She is such a gentle giant.
Have a great week!
*hugs*deb

I like that take on the mosaic. Your work is very pretty.

Thanks for visiting Hospitality Lane...

I do hope your recovery is speedy. I have had many surgeries and know that it can seem forever...and then one day you realize that you feel much better. Hoping that day comes fast for you.

Sandy said...

I hope you are feeling better soon. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a lovely comment. I see you are from Parma Hts, Ohio. Hubby and I were raised in the Cleveland area. My parents worked at General Motors in Parma and so did my brother before he retired. We still have brothers that live there so we go back to visit every year. Our parents last homes were in Elyria and Westlake. Your bead work is beautiful. It looks like a very satisfying hobby.

Hugs,
Teacup Lane (Sandy)
