Cheeky's Twin

Another fish from Sophie's school!

A Cheeky Fish by Sophie Drouin

I just received this pic from Sophie Drouin. Isn't it just fabulous! Sophie created this piece with a myriad of materials. Including smalti, beads, and Karma tile from Trend, Slag and dichroic glass, and copper sheeting. He is so lively and bright with his fins swaying in the tide. Sophie created and named this fish after Martin Cheek this year keynote speaker at the SAMA conference in Miami. Martin has a knack for infusing as much character and Whimsy as he can into his animals.

Connie's Custom Fireplace

Take a look at this fabulous fireplace! It was just completed by Connie Cohen (Spizzi Mosaics)of Minneapolis, MN. Connie used Trend's Karma (WitsEnd Mosaic) and a variety of colors of Mexican smalti (Smalti.com). Connie and I had several discussions as she worked on the project regarding materials and grout colors, etc. I just couldn't wait to see it. Boy it was worth the wait. Kudo's to Connie! I can't wait to see what she does next.
