Abstract Mosaic ...August

[@shantilley6540]

I am a 68 year old female and just "discovered" you on youtube about 2 days ago. I have since watched many, many of your videos. Wow! Your work is amazing! You are so creative and have an unlimited imagination. How I love watching you create your projects. I am now a huge fan of yours. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible art!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Hallo Shan I am so glad that you found me here on Utube and that you like my art. I hope that you will find many more projects here ,that you will enjoy. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragements. I appreciate it very much. We are the same age. 1954 was a good year. LOL Which part of the world do you live? I am german, but live in Colorado. Talk to you soon again. : )

Here is my monthly gentle nudge for our art challenge. Just one more week to the end of the month. It would be great to see you take part.. Have a creative weekend.: )

[@chrisannm5240]

I always appreciate your candor when it comes to projects you are not pleased with, showing what you did not like and how you fixed it or taking something apart completely. If I had not seen the side by side comparison, I would have thought your original was OK, but seeing the changes you made really made a difference! What a fabulous line-up, I think it may have been one of the biggest and certainly one of the most colorful and varied, obviously mosaic appealed to everyone in a big way. I was surprised to see my 'missing' project from July featured! It really wasn't neccessary but I appreciate it, I only see my projects in pictures on my phone and seeing it in a large format on my TV really looked so much better than I had thought it did. REALLY excited about September, I already have my project figured out. 😀

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thanks so much ChrisAnn for your lovely comment. I am glad you agree with my changes. If something I make bugs me in some way, I have to fix it ,otherwise it drives me nuts. LOL I agree that the line up was really fun and inspiring. : )

[@donnamorina7846]

Really good mosaic, Ina! The changes you made were spot on. I love how creative each entry was!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you very much Donna. Glad you agree with my changes. I get bugged when things I make don't look right to me. LOL It was a very interesting and fun line up. : )

The mosaic theme of the challenge last month was very very interesting. I actually had something in mind but couldn't finish it. Thanks to my toddler son. Your work is obviously good but loved the work of all the participants too. Mosiac does gives chance to bring in different kind of materials together in assemblage projects. I like how everyone tries and involves. How everyone are inspired.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much. I agree, everyone came up with great ideas and the line up was really fun and colorful. Sorry ,you could not find time to finish yours, but toddlers come first. LOL

Wonderful mosaic, Ina! I like the changes you made! The lineup was wonderful too! Such creative shown here!!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much Liz. I am pleased that you agree with my changes and yes, the line up was really awesome. : )

[@georgewilcox3956]

Beautiful mosaic, especially like the idea of the clear glue instead of grout. I have done several mosaics, over time but don't like grouting, I am eager to try it and compare to resin, thanks

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so much George. Yes, give that glue a try. You can apply it even thicker than I did, for a more resin look. It just takes awhile to cure and gets very solid. It does not harden as strong as resin, so no good for stuff that get used a lot, table tops etc. but for art mosaics it seems to work really well. Not sure how it behaves outdoors. : )

Gorgeous. The changes make a huge difference. Also helpful to see the before and after side by side.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Glad you think so too. Tanak you very much Dawn. : )

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Hi, Ina! I watched last night but ran out of power as I was typing to you. 60% tonight. I 💕 your mosaic. It’s retro! Everybody was making mosaics back in the 1960’s. Lots of ash trays, trivets, decorative plates, and some wall art with crushed up stones. I bought a vintage, decorative mosaic plate just last week. Your viewers made some wonderful art. It was all excellent! Very excellent!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much Mara. I am very pleased that you enjoyed this mosaic project. You are right...mosaic designs were in style back then. Mine is very basic ,but there are many awesome artists today, that take this technique to new heights. I love that it is suitable for outdoors and that it can last "forever". Well.. nothing is forever, but ......the old romans left us some lovely pieces. Glad you enjoyed the line up. Take care. : )

As always, your project is fantastically beautiful. I am enthusiastic about the many different mosaics and shapes that you have decorated. The other artists also had wonderful ideas. Thank you for this great challenge, for which you always come up with great ideas. I wish you a nice weekend. ❤👍 Hugs vom Tinchen

Thank you so much Tinchen. This was a fun challenge and I am pleased that so many artists played along ,incl. YOU. It's always inspiring to see everyone's ideas Happy Sunday. Talk to you soon Hugs : )

very creative uses for all the shiny bits! using the glue to seal is a great idea!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thanks so very much Nita! 😊it was fun working on something very different. Glad you like the outcome. : )

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful mosaic! I love the colors you used and the changes you made. These circles look so much better...good idea!And I like the variations in texture, it makes it very much alive. Quite a challenge this month indeed, but you've made a wonderful piece. Beautiful line-up too, very inspiring. Great video Ina, thank you!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so much Mieke. Glad that you like it ,including the changes I made. I am glad I did, change it, because if something bugs me ,I usually can't let it go until I fix it. LOL

[@staciwilson1138]

Wow a lot of submissions! Great variety. I love the colors and textures you used. I also love the circle shapes. The first one was awesome but I really enjoyed how u changed it up!!!

Both look great to me, but after your explanations i understand what you are saying. Very fun! I was hoping to do a challenge this year but the year is running away and now i’ll be out of town a lot! hugs!

Hello I'm interested in joining in on the September challenge but am not seeing the link you mentioned.

It is in the drop down description ubser the video. Open it completely and at the bottom of the first large paragraph is the link to the 4core Intro Video.

[@CraftyHope]

Your mosaic was fabulous! I see why you changed up your design. The new one was more consistent in that all the shapes were circles (or parts of circles) and felt more put together. I noticed you were using that Elmer's glue and wondered how it did. So, I'm glad you mentioned it. Thank you! As for September's challenge. I'm excited and already have an inkling of an eye-dea (idea 😂). I've got quite the collection of eyes from magazines, and that should help for sure. Thanks so much for this inspiration, Ina. I'm looking forward to it!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thanks so very much Hope for playing along and taking time to watch and comment. As I said ,if the whole things was much bigger, I could have added different shapes and lines, but for this relatively small mosaic, simple was the way to go .Happy to hear that you are already planning for the next challenge, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. : )
