Doing pique assiette is a very meditative process. It's good for me to not have much of a preconceived idea of what I am going to make. I like to let the pieces of rock and glass and old plates just find their own place. The design keeps changing until everything is finally glued down. I don’t really even know what it’s going to look like until I grout it anyway, so it’s a waste of time to get too anal retentive about it.
The process is a lot like a pathway of stepping stones. You let the stones quide you as you just put one foot in front of the other until, voila! - you finally get somewhere.

WHAT IS A LITTLE OLD LADY WITH CATS - REALLY?
(from an entry posted on 5/1/2015) “I definitely fit some of the characteristics of a little old lady with cats: Retired - check, Single - check, Like to knit - check, Have cats - check. . .I do not want to get stuck in my Little Old Lady persona, however. In fact, this blog is a risk taking experiment in exploring and redefining what I want my retired life to look like.” Categories
