What the @#*!?!


I'm in the process of making a silver version of my Pink Pencil Mirror. I ordered the pencils a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday the package arrived (always exciting:) Then I opened the box. What the @#*!? An order gone horribly wrong!!! Definitely not the silver pencils I was expecting:(
What the @#*! will I do with 288  multi-coloured, smiley face pencils that say ARS GRATIA ARTIS (Latin for 'art for the sake of art') on them?...
The good news is for me, the company is sending the correct order asap. The bad news is for the 100 or so trick or treaters who'll be knocking at our door next Halloween...
Candy is overrated;)

Well, given the budgetary crisis in education, you can donate them to a needy school?? Or to some boy scouts or girl guides for rubbing together to make a fire??

I see a challenge - a fun mirror with happy faces and multi colours for a kids room or ... maybe a kindergarten class ... or (?).

I,m seeing a challenge too. Make a mirror and donate it to a school. If enough artist do this maybe the eductation system will see the importance of "the arts" and start bringing them back into the schools.

Great idea Sue!
Mosaic Art, you've been challenged - Ars Gratia Educare (Latin for 'art for the sake of education':)).
