shades - look at this gf clock!

19 years ago

Went back to the Arts Center today to see if I could get some photos of a mosaic ARTIST who just had an exhibition. They were setting up for a luncheon so I had to surreptiously (sp?) take photos. Hope you enjoy, especially the clock. It's probably 5 ft. tall! I only took 4 photos.

Here is a link that might be useful:

    Thanks for sharing those, Rosie. The GF clock is very attractive. Must be a very astute artist to be brave enough to put all that white on such a big piece. The fish was my favorite!

    She ran out of the dishes w/color before she finished that piece, and had to scour the countryside in E. TX to find the same plates. Don't remember how many she had to buy but when she finally found them, she said she paid more for just one of them than she did for all the ones it took to make the clock. This artist is who I call the Queen of Mosaics in Texarkana. She uses a LOT of white in her mosaics. She's soooooooooo talented.

    OH Rosie!! WOW That is wonderful!!! And the sad thing is I HAVE those blue edged plates. We use them for company or special dinners.

    The clock we have is not that kind of GF clock. It is Joe's Grandfather's clock. LOL His sister would have a fit if I did this to it. Think I could stand a sister fit?? You bet-c-ya I can!!! Heheheh It is my hubby I need to get convinced.

    His clock is the long flat base with clock in center rounded top. Nothing great but would be wonderful with mosaic. Right now I have it tucked away in the gun cabinet.

    Now I did NOT jump up and set this table. I was sharing pictures of my setting on a decorating board a long time ago and remembered I had a picture of my blue plates. Considering in the flood they fell out the bottom of a box and crashed down the stairs and did not break when everything else did I do not have the heart to cut them up now. At that time I did not do mosaics but I do not think I could have used the broken things any way because looking at them would remind me of the fear and panic.It crossed my mind for about two seconds and rejected. Too bad it was pretty stuff. ALL my very favorite things. Sigh. The non broken plates remind me we lived through the night we should have died.

    Thanks for that wonderful clock link and I see your clock is also finished and it is wonderful. I love the center filled in.

    I do have a cheepie clock we use all of the time I just might mosaic!! This is great. Thanks for the nudge.

    Rosie what kind of price did she have on the clock???Thanks Annie

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks y'all for the wonderful comments.
    CRACKPOT: She's a local artist and since I didn't get permission to take photos, I'm holding back on her name. The clock was priced at $1300. I told her it wasn't enough and she said she had lowered her prices for the exhibition.
    FIDDLE: I think the fish WAS done on metal. AND she did a two- sided design. WOW!

    Understand Rosie,just wodered if she had a web site?Your'e right that should be 2000.00 I think.

    Holy Crow Shades that's some story - very harrowing. Beautiful plates, I don't think I could break them either.

    Wow, that artist is supurb! Thanks Rosey
