The Energy of 2023

My days working in the mosaic studio vary, which I like. A typical day? Often I don’t know until I set foot in the studio. Yesterday I bubble glazed and loaded the kiln. Some days I cut clay pieces or sand dried ones for bisque firing. The last few days of 2022 were a real treat, because I worked for the first time on the mosaic itself, applying pieces with thinset, and using, for the very first time, a table saw to cut pieces at the edge of the panel.

You should know this about me – I’m not a hardware/home improvement kind of gal so using a table saw is a big deal. It was the biggest leap I’ve taken so far. But I don’t want to miss out on anything so I just breathe and try to complete the task in front of me, knowing I’ll improve with time.

I’m always learning something new. Being involved in every step of the process creates an attachment and sense of ownership to the Dana Point Stair Mosaic, not to mention an understanding and appreciation of the project’s scope. I also like that I can step in to help at any time.

I can’t think of a better energy to bring into 2023!!
