Marin's Memoral Wall

I recently received an e-mail from Jody Mangue all the way in Costa Rica. She had visited my mosaic site and wrote me a nice note with some questions about a mirror she wants to make. In her letter she shared about the mosaic memorial that was made as a tribute to her daughter Marin who died at the age of 16. The mural was made by Marin's friend Emily Easton. Jody writes in her note to me "In the afternoon when the sun sets, the light hits my house which is a gold and stucco colored and that reflects in the mirrors on the mural, so it is as if the mural lights up, we did not account for that."
Jody's e-mails touched my heart and I wanted to share a bit of it with you. Life is so precious and none of us really knows the length of our days or the number of days we will share with those we love. Marin has a memorial web-site as well www.marin-ebel.memory-of.com
Thank you Jody for writing me and sharing Marin's Memoral Wall.

Don't know what to call this one

This piece is bordered with hand nipped plate edges. There is a glass heart hung on a string of pink millefiori. The rest is hand nipped stained glass.
I can't decide what to name this one. Angel with flower, Angel Girl, Beauty and Grace,

Hummingbirds

The humming birds that grace my feeders each day have been the inspiration for a number of hummingbird mosaics this summer.
