The Guys from the City (Public Works Dept)
built a frame on the wall and came to get the Mandala...
Installed on July 11th...
A very exciting event!

In total, 46 Community Members participated in the construction of

...not even counting the pack of capricious Pre-Schoolers
who gleefully washed rocks!
Youngest Community Member: Two years old!
oh yes, and
When the one kid figured out that he could use a stick to stir the rocks
all the other kids wanted to stir rocks
with that stick!
so it was like Tom Sawyer white-washing the fence!
many Rocks got a thorough washing that day!
The Dollmaker shakes her head, saying:
This whole project has been so much fun!
Community Members Rock!!

Way to go, Judy! |

Bernadette Noll who skillfully runs that whole Imaginarium where the Mandala was built.. worked on this double panel in the northeast quadrant. The Dollmaker looks forward to future creative endeavors with this lady.

and how about that guy Gene! LOL! ..who one day wandered into the Maker Space unsuspecting...
Once he found out about the Mandala project he showed up to help every Thursday and Friday for two months with unbounded enthusiasm!
Here he points to all (most of) the areas he worked on!

Just a glimmer of an idea in March-
the 4'x4' Mandala was installed on an auspicious day in
to the left of the front door at the Mary Nichols Art Center on Loop 230 and Burleson Street in Smithville, Texas

City of Mosaics
(yes! There are actually Mosaics on walls all over town!)
The next one will be a spiral!
a Blast from the Dollmaker's Past:
Dave Sheppard's "Found Object" Mosaic
|
Now here's a Timely Shout Out to the man who inspired the Dollmaker many years ago with his "Found Object" Mosaic Art Installation! a wondrous assortment of recycled objects on the side of his own home. Renaissance Man.. Dave Sheppard. What a guy. He is sorely missed.

The Study of Wings continues...
wings for
the Post-Mandala Period
So what Else is going on at the Maker Space
now that the Dollmaker has gotten back into
Dollmaking..
strangely enough...
Dollmaking
IS what's going on over there now!
The Dollmaker brought some of her "different" dolls in
for "Show and Tell- mostly Show"
Some of them involved Corks.
Shortly afterward, Corks went Viral in the Maker Space! LOL
"Wrapped" Styles rampaged through the Space as well-
And a make-shift marionette instigated the need for moveable arms and legs...
It became a wondrous Dollmaking Free-for-All.
The Dollmaker is not even
particularly "Teaching"... not
really...
She's just hanging out making dolls.
Just getting ready for her 8-week Show -
which will be upon us before you know it!
Meanwhile, may the Summer Continue...
The Rains have been Amazing! Keeping temperatures down like
no July we have ever known!
Enjoy it, wherever you are!
