Mosaic Monday / Dallas Mosaic Artists

Dallas mosaic artists are making things happen! I usually scour the web to find cool mosaic work from all over the country to talk about on Mondays or I sometimes will show off some of my own projects. Today and the rest of the month I want to cover local Dallas mosaics and local mosaic projects.

Check out my short video below about a large public garden project my classmates are involved in for the Texas State Fair.  I did not take part in the project, but I am so excited for everyone involved. They did an amazing job and I hope to create a longer video soon that will show the flowers in the garden. This video shows some in progress shots along with an interview with project organizer Katrina Doran.

Shannon Leigh Saunders recently had her mosaic work showcased by Cebolla Fine Flowers, the showing runs through Sept. 25th. I checked out this high end retail opening last week and was very impressed with both the quality of Shannon's work and also how beautiful her pieces looked in this large upscale retail environment. Shannon's work varied in subject matter, she was showing floral pieces, abstracts and even a portrait. What did not vary at all was her attention to detail and craftsmanship. Her work is just exquisite. I am afraid my small photos of the show postcard does not do her work justice.

The piece below was one of my favorites that Shannon was showing. I found this nice image over at flickr via member: allitscrackeduptobe.
