Mosaic Garden Stairs

These are a series of seven cement garden stairs created for a private residence. Each step is 34" wide by 7" tall. I started by making mirror mosaics of frogs and ivy leaves on Easyboard and adhering them to the steps. Then I used ceramic tile to mosaic around them using colors appropriate to the natural surroundings. Here they are halfway through the process.Here they are finished but ungrouted. And here they are finished!

A Plague of Frogs in Jingletown!

What's happening?Frogs are everywhere!It appears that Jingletown - that den of iniquity - has called a plague of frogs down upon itself! Here are some actual photos of the little critters.

They're everywhere! And you know how frogs are - where there's one, more are bound to follow!
Here was an innocent blank space, just sitting there minding it's own business and look what happened:
Take a walk around the 'hood and see if you can find all of them. Keep your eyes open - soon there will be more.

This work is dedicated to all the good people in Jingletown - Russ, Stacy, Saundra, Cynthia, Fernando, Susan, Heather, etc - who have welcomed me onto their "team"!
