I have more tiles on hand for any artists that wish to participate in this year’s Mosaic for Mental Health Art Exhibition and Sale. A key fundraiser of CMHA Halifax-Dartmouth Branch for the past 28 yrs.

Of course, you can also pop by their office (7071 Bayer’s Rd, suite 311) and pick up/drop off tiles and submission forms yourself or for your group.

Eye to eye, I spent almost as much time thinking about which eyes suit each fish I create, as I do about the kind of patterns I want to give them.

The bigger fish get bigger eyes. Each made from wood rounds and embellished with blob style paint, just like the blob art canvases.

The smaller fish get a smaller eye using smooth round Nova Scotia beach stones, painted with a dollop of paint and a top dot.

One thing for sure, these eyes are on solid and won’t fall off.
