The Latest Edition of the Pencil Mug

Here is the latest edition of the mosaic pencil mug. Susan from Blackberry Creek ask me if I could create one with a cardinal. Of course I could!







It's looks so nice on my studio desk, I almost want to keep it :-). If you don't know Susan, go visit her at Blackberry Creek. She is the most amazing quilter and also makes some wonderful altered art pieces. She lives in a beautiful yellow house, that I was fortunate enough to make a mosaic sign for (you can see it on her sidebar). Tell her Penny sent you!
Playing in the Studio,

I just love your work. I enjoy making crafts, just for myself and friends. I collect tea cups and some of them get chipped or even broken. I have saved alot of them in our garage in hopes of making something with them. You have inspired me to do that soon. You are so talented, Thanks for sharing your work.

Hi Penny, I was headed for the Comforts of Home but your sweet cardinal mug caught my attention. it turned out great. I know Susan will love it. Is there anything you can't do.?

We are presently in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We arrived today. We have skied here many years ago, so this is a memory visit. We will explore the Teton Mountains near by.

Love the piano music.

Hugs..Jeanne
