Our teacher Susan, described a mosaic bowl that was ordered and not so interesting.  She then broke the beautiful stones lose, to be used somewhere in a free, beautiful pattern.  Our only instructions were not to think, but to make a road of broken pieces.  This was the result: YouTubehttps://youtu.be/w2wuL2pzPXc Our projects will be added to/and or grouted in our February Meeting where we will continue the art of Mosaic.  If you were unable to come, but would still like to try this, you are welcome to bring in your broken plates and make a beautiful piece of art.
