Something is Never so Broken that it Can't Live Again

Happy Birthday Geri! We have a saying in our studio, "Something is never so broken that it can't live again."

So, when you broke one of your beautiful hand-painted dishes from Taladura, Mexico, inspiration for your birthday gift this year was a piece of cake. Now you will be able to set your table with a matching centerpiece.

Finished pot made to complement Geri's blue and white mosaic garden table. --Jan

"Most of us can't keep our eyes off mosaics, especially if they're built up from the damaged, the cast off, the orphaned. They are infinitely seductive. We marvel at the time involved, the patience, the technical mastery, the detail. We do this with other kinds of art too, but why does a mosaic invite our bodies--as well as our eyes and intellects--in a way that the Mona Lisa does not?
Why are we content to keep our distance from the Sistine Chapel? Would we really want to touch it, even if we could? Whereas, if someone tried to keep us from laying our hands on a mosaic we'd feel deprived, wronged, pissed as hell. These are good questions to ponder."
