yesterday I got this amazing email that read

301 artists from 25 countries submitted 521 mosaics...

18 were chosen and yours is among them

I still can't believe it! The Sidonea menageria is one of 18 pieces that was juried into Mosaic Art Now's 2010 Exhibition in Print!

To be on a list with all these famous artists.. is just crazy!

Here is a link that might be useful: Mosaic Art Now

    That is just fabulous, NT. Take a deeeeeeep bow. I don't know why you can't believe you should not be listed along w/"these famous artists". You are truly an artist w/more talent than many whose works I've seen. Recognize it and enjoy the fact that you have contributed to the art world in so many ways others only dream to do.

    yep, I still have prints and cards available

    they can be ordered by searching nicethymes at etsy, and all the proceeds go to The Sidney Dodson Cerebral Palsy Fund.

    the wip is in 2 threads here, if you do a search of Sidonea. plus I have a thread here detailing presenting the piece to Sid as well

    Thank you all for your kudos. I'm just bowled over by the whole experience. The odds of this were astonomical really and I feel so fortunate.

    Slow, you have always been such a big influence and inspiration to so many of us here. I hope you will always spot yourself in the things I make.

    Oh, I remember when you started this, but hadn't seen it finished! I absolutely love the final piece and the story that goes along with it. You have to know that projects like this make me realize making mosaics doesn't have to be just something I love to do. That I could someday affect someone besides myself is truly inspirational. And kudos to Mosaic Now for recognizing the beauty & kindness of this project. Congratulations & thanks for sharing.

    I'll NEVER forgot how painful your decision was to FINALLY plunge in and mosaic that bowling ball. You labored over it for weeks. At one point, I entertained the though that you might have been pulling our legs w/your discussions on laying it out, design, whatever. Finally, someone posted "It's only a bowling ball." Then when you finally took off, you passed us all up. I'll also never forget that bottle. I wanted one like it so bad. Whatever happened to that bottle anyway. Is it for sale?????

    lol I was so afraid that if it was the only thing I ever made, I wanted it to be good! lol

    the bottle/ ball lives in my yellow bed, I discover it every spring.
