Down to Earth Mosaics

"Agate Heart" 9 inch glass mosaic finger labyrinth.

Tale of 2 Kitties: A US. postal service SNAFU resulted in me making two different versions of this glass mosaic of a kitty named Max. After weeks of waiting, I submitted an insurance claim, remade the mosaic and sent the replacement off to the client. When the presumed lost version also finally showed up in the client's mail delivery(voiding my insurance claim), my clients loved it so much that they decided to purchase both versions. Another happy ending....

I've been asked about my glass mosaic finger labyrinths. I like making these not only because they are beautiful, but also because they serve a function similar to the large walking labyrinths: as a tool for meditation, relaxation and prayer. The most famous of the large walking labyrinths is the Chartres Cathedral in France. Here in the SF Bay Area, located in the Grace Cathedral, is a replica of the Chartres labyrinth. My mini version serve the same purpose as the large... ones do, but , instead of walking, you use a finger to slowly trace the path from outside to the center. Each labyrinth I make is unique and has a built in hanger on back, so when not in use, it can be hung on a wall or laid flat on a table (rubber bumpers on back prevent scratching). Throughout the decades, labyrinths have been used worldwide to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and find balance...qualities we need more than ever during these challenging times. See more
