this is why I do it

Every now and then a person comes into your life who reaffirms why you do what you do. I love working with young people especially when they 'get' it and can step outside the box and run with an idea...

 This is Sam's book filled with poetry and images that mean something to her. It's been a fun process working with this young woman. 

Thanks Sam for 'getting' it'.

I just can't decide!

I found this wonderful table

 at my local thrift store and I want to cover the top with a mosaic.




 The problem? I can't decide what I want on it.

Maybe a fish












or Van Gogh's sunflowers

or a mermaid or maybe a stylized sun?

or one with more detail. Oh what to do? If this was for someone else I wouldn't have this problem. Can you help me decide? Please?
