WOW! How sweet! I wish I could get my DD to do something with me, maybe with my new craft room she'll be inspired again. She started a stained glass box that is 1/2 done but she lost interest...

Cute:) Maybe he can make a few more for decorations for the tree or gifts.

How fun!, Great job!, Happy Holidays!

Tell him it's beautiful! The best angel ever!

Maria

How fun! He will be taking over soon! He should be very proud of his first mosaic...great job!

It sure looks like he's enjoying it ..... ! You'll have to tell him that we all think his angel is awesome !

He did a great job on his angel! Where are you going to hang it, on the tree?

That so great that he is enjoying it. It gives you some special time together.

The pictures show how carefully he was studying her, to get the pieces placed just right. He did a beautiful job.

Bless his heart, he did an outstanding job!

Its a beautiful angel. I would love to hang it at the top of my tree.

If that isn't the sweetest thing I ever saw - both boy and angel!!

Congratulations on creating this particular monster!!

Oh how precious! An angel making an angel for sure.

Ramona

That is really a "precious moment" How wonderful for the 2 of you. My 14 year old told me she wanted to make something for her grandma tonight! I was so thrilled. I even cleaned up my studio for the event. Loved the pics!!!

You know - I looked at this post twice again . It reminds me of how much we take for granted . (((( Gretch )))) You are a great mom . Who else could post a picture of an angel MAKING an angel ? LOL
You're lucky to have him & he's lucky to have you .
It doesn't get much better than this!

It doesn't get much better than this!

You said it all.

How wonderful! How proud he will be to hang that on your family tree.

Oh Gretch... I love these pictures. Hooray for your son! He did a GREAT job!!! ( And you obviously are a special Mom. :) My sister-in-law had downs syndrome. She was so VERY special to me. When we visited I'd take little craft things to do with her. We painted ceramics... did long stitch needle point, etc. Your pictures bring back many special memories. She just passed away a few months ago. She was 56 and her smile will always be with me. :)

Please share the grouted pictures with us when it's finished. :)
Katie

Wow, that's very pretty. I agree that he has done a wonderful job and should be congratulated

How precious is that!!! He did such a good job....cant wait to see it grouted!!!! That will be the best ornament on the tree for ever!!!!

OH Gretch How wonderful that your son wanted to join in on your mosaics. He looks like he was enjoying it so much. The scary part is he has the look of an addict already. His concentration. His hands poised just so ready to pick up the next perfect piece. I am afraid Gretch your BF is right. There will be no stopping him now. I don't think you are creating a monster though I think he is going to be an artist.

GOOD JOB!!

Chris

What a wonderful treasure! He did a great job. Wish one of my dd's would be interested in mosaicing with me.

Watch out, now that your DS has taken up mosaicing too, you'll be having to SHARE your stash! Wonderful lst project! ROCK ON!

Ditto; can't add anything except to echo you must be a proud mama of both your angels...And, won't it be wonderful to have someone so special share your passion.

WHat a wonderful series of shots! Yes, you can definitely tell he's searching very carefully to find the perfect piece to fit each space. What a wonderful expereince for you both! rosemarythyme is right, tho.....you will have to share your stash with him as he learns and grows as an artist!

Pat

Great pictures thanks for sharing your treasure with us!

Have you grouted it yet? Is he wanting to do another piece?

Everyone has already said it and when I saw it the word precious came to mind. Obviously it came to everyone else's mind as it was used in several posts. This, like SUSIE says, touches my heart. Kiss that little artist for me. He is doing an excellent job. Oh what a joy to see him. Bless you for being such a terrific mom.

I like how he made her face pink :) Very, very sweet! I would make a blow-up and frame the middle photo!

The MOST content, loving people I have ever known had Down's syndrome. You are blessed!

Ok finally grouted. Sorry took so long. Having christmas this weekend at our house. BF family is all coming and trying to get ready for that.
It is still kind of wet the grout is a dark grey, not sure i like it. But he does so that is all that counts. It is hung on the tree now.
{{!gwi}}

How great is that?!!
He's going to love hanging it on the tree every year.
How wonderful Gretch!!

Hazie

It's wonderful angel! He must be so proud of it!! What's his next project?

Maria

He has his eyes on some corner shelfs i have. LOL.. so after christmas i think i will let him have at them.

Well, how nice did THAT turn out. Love the dark grout. I'll bet he's bursting his buttons w/pride.

That came out great! Now he'll be addicted!

Oh wonderful, it looks very Vatican/Cardinal like!

Can't wait to see what he does with the shelves.
