On the Drawing Board

(This is the the basic leaf pattern for our first bench)
Hello!This is the beginning of the project and what we have so far...

Mary has a couple of sketches for the mosaic benches we will be working on. The first bench has a shape of three leaves coming together as one.We are waiting for the metal framework to come in about a week or so.Mary and I talked about the designs for the other two benches.One of them is about the "Tree of Life", while the other involves a cactus and a desert scene.We have very rough sketches on the last two,so they are not very concrete designs,but we will be working on them as the project proceeds.


Also, we have a list of potential display locations.We are still working on talking to the owners of the private property locations, while anything else,we have to email the city.

We are low in mosaic materials, so the word is out!We would like our community to be part of this project as well, by donating any pieces of ceramic, colored glass, and even broken china to us.Any donated materials will be used on the benches as needed.

This is all for now.If you would like to donate any materials for the project, you can contact me at
