Beautiful.
Keep us posted.

Dang! I realy need to send those cross to you (I have been in such a stuper )Will soon .
That looks great.

Thanks, y'all. NT - the gift was from Ann Gibson - Gibsona. Haven't heard from CRACKPOT ANNIE in a very long time. Hope she'll come back to us. Here's the progress I made this afternoon. LOL NANA - guess I'm known as the "cross lady".
Crosses Update

This is going to be another gorgeous piece.

Mind? Why would I mind? It's gorgeous; just as I knew it would be! Amazed how quickly things come together for you. Can't wait for update.
Ann

Wowee, girl. I hadn't seen your photo site since I left in December and it's obvious you've been on the move like always. Great pieces too! They have that special Slo touch! Is the second piece I see the piece I saw started in Vallarta? You're right! I never would have recognized it. So much color and fun! It's wonderful....but I knew it WOULD be!

Slow, in an earlier post you mentioned that your teacher in PV uses Vitricco. I tried running that on a search but didn't come up with anything. Do you have a link?

Good to see you posting again Daisey! Are you back now?
Slow, Your Cross Masterpcs are always Eye Candy!!!

Beautiful!!

Gorgeous , Slow, just beautiful. I love the shape and all the crosses. Really reminds me of the Mexico visits,
Cindy

Nice Slow.. so many different items... makes it interesting.

Slow your work is so amazing!!! Your are a true artist and I so enjoying seeing your work, Cathy

Well how nice to have my first cup of coffee w/friends like y'all. I bow in thanks. DAISEY - yes - the second piece is the workshop memory piece. The teacher wanted us to order the tiles through her. She gets them wholesale, but don't know from where. As long as you get the Italian vitreous glass, I don't think it matters what brand. The ones I bought were the Chinese-made ones, and they shatter. KLINGER - w/every visit to Mexico, I come home inspired by their wonderful folk art. Thanks, y'all, for making my morning sweet. Was gone all day yesterday, so hopefully can finish gluing today and grout tomorrow.

Got red? Gluing done - grout tomorrow.

its GORGEOUS! I LOVE the top round portion the mostest!

sorry to Gibsonna - forgot you were an Ann too! (redfaced)

That RED is Super!!! Hubba Hubba!!!

My goodness, Slo....do you sleep?

Lovely work and I love how that brownish/copper colored glass looks like wood in the photos.

You are amazing, truly amazing.

'morning, y'all. Thanks again. SUZI: If you're talking about the circles across the middle, under the large cross, those are mirror rounds.

Ooooo....Ahhhh.....I get lost looking through your album!
Nobody does mexican folk art like you...you are one talented lady that's for sure!

I've been grouting on this sucker for two hrs., and had to stop for lunch and a rest. I think this is the worst grouting nightmare I've done except "In Her Cups". Next time I get a bright idea, I'm gonna think ahead to grouting. Hope to finish in about another hr. GEESH - HORRIBLY tedious.

Soooooooooo glad to finish the cleanup. WHAT A PAIN. Appreciate all y'all's compliments. I sorta like it too. Think I'll keep this one.
Grouted Folk Art Crosses

Slow, it's awesome. I can't believe you've done all that since Saturday! Well, I can believe it! After all, it's you! Tell me, how did you get that big cross attached to the substrate? I know how heavy it was so it couldn't have just been glue. . .I can't wait for my surgery so I can have time to play. .I intend to try something "slow-like". Wish me luck! Have a good one!
Ann

Wow, that is really awesome!! Can't believe how quick you finished that one!!

You never cease to amaze me with your art......this is really another Slow-masterpiece...........very inspiring......your mosaics are so uplifting and fun.........always a feast for the eyes...........!

wow. I love the red and gold and the flowers down the sides. very iconic.

Beautiful! I sure love your style!

Wozer - y'all sure know how to make an old lady happy. Thanks a zillion. GIBSONA: I used GE II for the crosses. As I've said b/f, I rarely use GE II, but for special items, it's the only thing that works. Everything else was glued w/Weldbond. My DD likes it so much, she is designing a piece w/three crosses for me to make for her living room. Happy days are ahead. Since I'm on a cross kick, I found a very tall plank (over 5" wide) in the garage yesterday, and cut it and put together - y'all ready for this - a 5" tall cross. Now I gotta figure out what to do w/it. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
