4/24/2010 - This
was one huge tower years ago. This last break didn't allow me to
glue these two pieces back together. So I chipped away at a
good break point and added the top piece.
This
time I glued the plate to the vase as the squirrels would jump on
it from my tree and plate and food would go flying!

-Repairing Big Blue
for about the 4th time. This last time it fell because
I was too busy to get in the garden and simply upright it.

Well,
the globe didn't work for this project; so instead, I attached
this form instead. This represents about 2.5 hours of
work. I'm not planning it out, just going along with
whatever comes out of my head. Scary.....
This
will be about 5 feet tall I think. I'll have to measure
when I'm done. |

| Comment: This
tower has some interesting tiles that have pattern in and of
themselves. There are intense olive greens, rust red, tan and
brown, but also blue greens and touches of pink and purple. Sort of 60's
colors. I've added some blue/green smalti to catch the sun, beach
shells, and am
adding for the first time pieces of broken red glass bead. A
rust colored grout will complete the
work.

The
Maine bell is ringing;
Hammocks
are on the roof;
Flowers
are blooming, baby birds a joy to behold
I
breathe in the scent of Spring....
