Mosaic Milieu Original and Commissioned Mosaic and Glass Art by Brigétte

Well the day finally came! I dropped off my four year project. It didn't take four years to make but it was in my care for that long and this morning I was able to drop it off at La Vida Charter School located in Willits, CA on the Ridgewood Ranch. This is the home of Seabiscuit the famous racehorse. A few years earlier, Lorri from a Ukiah, CA came and built a cob bench which I was able to assist in. (Photos if the cob bench are located in the photos section on this page.) Th...is is a donor board that will hang behind the bench. There will be a dedication ceremony that will be held mid September. This is a dedication to George and Ella Butler. The bench and mosaic are located in the Butler Orchard. I added photos of the plaques of some personal friends and the book. It was sad to let it go but at the same time I'm glad I now have the space to start creating other mosaic pieces. See more

The online auction for Doctors Without Borders begins tomorrow. Yay! https://www.facebook.com/brigette.benav//10155299681776520

Not much going on over here, at the same time, there's a ton of stuff going on over here!! Lol. I've been waiting for the weather to warm up, usually by this time we are seeing temps in the low 70's which is nice and makes for creative mosaic making but with it still snowing, glues don't like these temps much. Especially, when your studio is your garage! I have been doing some jewelry since they are small enough that the mess can be confined to one end of the dining table, until the temps rise and I can get back out into the studio. Only a couple are glued down and NONE are grouted or resined. In the meantime, here is what I am dealing with! Keep Warm Everyone!!

Time sure does fly!!!! Thanks again Sammy! https://www.facebook.com/brigette.benav//10150118356496520

The Doctors Without Borders Auction is coming up. this is my submission. Not my usual work. Did something different. So excited for you all to see the stunning works of other artists. https://www.facebook.com//a.11431898861/1428650290520080/

"I Sea You" Just finished this small mirror for the Doctors Without Borders auction coming up this April. Working a a few other smaller projects.

I am happy to announce I have finally made arrangements for the Butler Orchard donation wall to be picked up at the end of July! That's the donation wall that will go up on Seabiscuits Ranch and the one I've been working on for over 3.5 years!!!! The one that will go behind the cob bench that Lori and I built. At which point I will be able to focus on my Doctors Without Borders project and some private commissions. I am soooo excited to be able to rearrange my studio and sta...rt over in my art world. There will be another rebirth when I build my dream studio away from my home (currently, I occupy our two car garage and even at that, I am only a partial occupant.) but it feels good to be able to focus on other things now, I am ready!! I will post pictures at the end of the month when it is about to be picked up. Because this piece is large and heavy (not with mosaics, as it only has a less than 3" frame that is mosaicked) and I will wait for other people to come get it and maneuver it so I can photograph it.

Got a new little toy to play with. Purchased this from another great mosaic artist, Anne Marie Price. Can't wait to create! This is suppose to cut "wood, glass, plastic, soft tile, plexiglass, and much more" WHOO HOO!! I love me some power tools!

YEA!!!! I'm back up to where I was before Facebook took away my likes. I hope they don't knock me down again. Thank you soooooo much everyone!! I will be posting pics soon as my deadline for the "Donor Board" is the first week of June. This is the small wall that will hang behind the cob bench on Ridgewood Ranch (Home of Seabiscuit) ... This project has been 2.5 yrs long and will be happy to see it all put together. Stay tuned!! And thank you again for all the new likes!! :-D

Adriana Castro! Deserving to be said in my best Hispanic accent because I can! Do you love snoopy or Charlie Brown? I noticed you liked my snoopy mosaic and my snoopy/Charlie Brown pics at the Charles Shultz museum/snoopy ice Areana. Tell me about that!

Two day my son started ice skating lessons at Charles Shultz ice arena. We went to the museum after and there were two mosaics!! I'll take a better picture next week of Woodstock.
