I didn't mosaic this bowling ball, found it on the internet, but it could be in my future.

Extreme weather and mosaics

I mosaiced this bowling ball and was really delighted with it. Then I left it outside during our extreme winter weather this year. And that was the end of the tiles sticking. Lesson learned: bring some artwork inside if you're not sure it can withstand Extreme Weather.

Bowling ball mosaic

Another bowling ball I mosaiced. Though it survived several years outside, the very cold weather we had last winter made a lot of the tiles slide off. I use to enjoy the picture because it reminded me of what the mosaic ball looked like in tact. Now I enjoy it for the snow.

White Rock East Garden & Artisans Tour, last year pictures

Today's pictures are a mishmash of last year's tour, this year's tour and my fabulous bowling ball that should be on every tour, but is not asked. An oversight I'm sure. Maybe if I weld a special stand for it? Welding brings out the best in everyone, even bowling balls.

Don't you love Mary's stacked pots that make a stand for her garden sculpture? I told myself I was stealing that idea and here it is a year later and I haven't made myself a stacked pot stand.

The fountain picture is a sneak preview of a wonderful garden on this year's tour. Yes, a teaser. You really really don't want to miss this year's tour as that fountain proves.

Saw Lola today. Told her she's doing the commentary on the garden tour preview night video. Her response? "I'll dress better!" Gotta love her. Once again a solid year has gone by and have we progressed with Lola starring in "The Barbaree Beat"? Nooooooooooo But this might be our year. Hey maybe if my bowling ball sneaks in this year's video and future videos, it could be our mascot and get us on Oprah!
