follow up on Mosaic mural

Well, I did go to the unveiling, of the Mural I talked about in the last posting..I drove up to Calgary from WI stopping in glacier Park (taking a couple thousand photos)...the event was held at the International Jumping Show.(several more hundred photos)..it was unbelievable to see...238 original pieces of art coming together to make the huge running horse...I heard of another one in the works about the USA..couldn't wait to maybe get in one that one figuring I could do one for the USMC...but something happened, and maybe I didn't get into it, I don't know, so I decided to do one of my own...I cannot do the huge size, but 7' x9' will have to do as it will be do-able in my basement..I am now in process, the wall has been constructed (thanks to my hard working husband figuring it all out) and I got 252 pieces of 6"x6" panels all gessoed, velcroed, and stuck on the wall in order, I have the picture all drawn on...now I am working on the canvas version (working out the bugs) and about done with that...then I paint the big wall and start on the interesting part...I have a few friends wanting to help with a few..but it is a project I am very excited to be doing..I am so thankful to the gentlemen that did the horse one in Canada, and invited me into it, for it opened up a world of adventure..go to  http://www.muralmosaic.com/ to see the beautiful murals these wonderful guys did..I was in "The Horse Gift" mural with Vanyel as my last posting....
