I should be in the shower! Wash that grout right out of my hair!

I am always playing with time. I steal little bits of it and add to other bits to make up sneaky time slots that I had not planned for. For example, here I am, tingling with excitement at creating a Blog when I should be in the shower and heading down to the Beenleigh Library to collect my mosaic exhibition!
Thank goodness I don't have webcam! Hands covered in white thinset (that's cement based adhesive, not a diet plan!) and mosaic dandruff (thinset sprinked in hair!).

Welcome to my world of mosaic addiction. If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening, all over this town....yes, that's what the feeling is like.

Sometimes, you wish you could turn off the addiction. Everything you see, you mentally turn into a mosaic form. Everything you hear, becomes a visual....Everything you touch, you have broken down in your mind and reassembled. Nothing is safe from a mosaic addict....so next time you are in a coffee shop, and a rubber-gloved handed suddenly whisks the half-full cup of chino away, take care....you are near a mosaic addict. You wonder why the cup was stolen? Did it have a floral motif?....a cup handle that could become an elephant's tusk? or did the bottom of the cup say "made in china"...that's a personal favourite...

Pique-assiette is a form of mosaic art that is often made from china (not made in China! LOL (=lots of laughs) and that "made in china" label is a must for me! David has had cups ripped out of his hands, half full, when I absolutely had to have the colour blue! One bit of tesserae ended up in my Sydney Opera House mosaic...and oh, if you dare to drink wine out of blue bottles in my presence, do it at your own risk....it is the water of my art!

7.42 am.....how much time do I need to wash that grout out of my hair....I have so much to tell you...more later
