Ahhh... just when I thought I could catch my breath, I get a call that throws me another curve ball.  A new owner has bought the art store in Key Largo where I have my ceramic work for sale.  I have to move out, because he is changing the whole place.  Anyway, now I'll have to spend half a day moving my work and display case... 

Even worse...  I'll have to start marketing myself again to find a new location to sell.  I hate promoting myself, and would much prefer hiding out in my shop making stuff.  On the bright side, I already have two more places in mind.  I just have to make the time, and get up the courage to go there with samples...   Wish me luck!  Thanks! -Diane  http://demartstudio.com

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I've been so out of touch recently.  I have been working like crazy.  There are a bunch of international tile shows in April and May... and everyone wants new tiles to display.  I also got pretty sick with a kidney infection.  I don't recommend one of those! 

I still need to get a photo of the large mosaic that I finished.  It is now installed in a concrete patio floor and looks beautiful.  I'll post a photo soon. 

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Thanks to everyone, you made my mosiac turtle shell color decision so much easier!  I completed and delivered the turtle mosaic this morning.  My client was thrilled!!  I cleaned up the edges so it would fit perfectly into their patio floor, where it is being placed next week.  I'll post a photo of it set and grouted when that happens!!  Thanks again!

Just when I thought I was catching up with work... I got an e-mail from a tile company saying they were sending two new mold making projects.  Guess I shouldn't complain, having work is always good.  I just want to go kayaking once this week!!!

I finally finished my 6 square foot mosaic that a guy in Key Largo custom ordered.  But, I have one last decision to make.  Which turtle shell do you like better?  The dark or the light mosaic shell?  It will be installed tomorrow afternoon, so I have to make up my mind soon!  Thanks for any imput!!  -Diane
