Boreal chickadee finds a new garden home
Supporting the Pelee Island Observatory
We donated 2 mosaics for a silent auction in support of the Pelee Island Observatory. Here’s Sheila at the Bird Ball.
Goldfinch – supporting St. Joseph’s Hospital
Scarlet Tanager
Scarlet Tanager – final stages
This scarlet tanager mosaic has just been grouted. We still have to do a final polish, clean up the edges and install hanging hardware on the back.
Black-crowned Night Heron
When the alewives came into shallow water to spawn over at Sam Smith Park, the black-crowned night herons showed up to enjoy the bounty. Standing on the bridge on the west side of the yacht club, looking north, some evenings we could spot 4 or 5 of these chunky birds.
We decided to do a night heron mosaic. We did this one with Italian Smalti (glass) tiles on a birch plywood ground, and unlike the mosaics we do with broken crockery, we grouted this one.
This mosaic is about 3 feet tall.
