Last week I was invited to a friend’s house and this is the mosaic that greeted me at the entryway. What a stunning statement right at the entrance of a home! The masterpiece is by Sarah Donato. I learned from the owner Jules that they were inspired by Nick Misani’s work.
Now I am dreaming of one day renovating a home and being able to hire Sarah to make me a custom mosaic. One day! One day!
Ah, yes, I want to make one of these giant paper snowflakes.
Fold’N Fly is an impressive paper airplane database. I know what I am doing with my kids tonight!
