Her idea was to make a mosaic Canadian flag that everyone in the school would contribute to.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I arrived first thing in the morning and set up in the school's atrium. The project, a large Canadian flag, was ready and waiting for each class to come through, listen to a quick condensed version of my <i><a href="http://mosaicworks.ca/section/433108-Artist-Author-Visits-Mosaic-Workshops.html" target="_blank">'The Magic of Mosaics'</a> </i>presentation then add their small paper cross (one per student) to the project.</div>

It was meant to go like clock work and thanks to that very industrious and uber organized teacher it did!</div>

It seemed like such an overwhelmingly big, scary job! Three weeks ago, for some reason(?), I decided to take it on. After tearing up the carpet and removing the trim there was no turning back.<br />
<i>"I can do this"</i> was my mantra.<br />
<br />
BEFORE<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Putting down the hardware (my first time) was the most intimating part of the project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a mitre saw (which I had) to cut the hardwood and took my time - measuring 4 times! and cutting once:). The last couple of pieces needed to be ripped with a table saw (which I didn't have). The borrowed table saw that I used did the trick and it came with a bonus perk - I discovered that with a mitre saw + a table saw the 'building stuff' possibilities were endless. It was a game changer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>"I can really do this"...</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I put up a mirror that was <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6297710045111350899#editor/target=post;postID=5718379527379322851;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=4;src=postname" target="_blank">removed from a bathroom years ago</a> and trimmed it up, built two built-ins and trimmed them up, took the old trim and glued them to mdf boards (1x5x8) making for much nicer (bulkier) trim. It was all about the trim.</div>

After which I contacted (emailed) many of the Teachers and Librarians that I met with the hope of setting up Author Visits showcasing my <a href="http://mosaicworksca.blogspot.ca/2016/02/an-author-visit.html" target="_blank"><i>Magic of Mosaics</i> presentation</a>, at their schools. I really had no idea if any of them would be interested in what I had to offer...<br />
Since then I've visited 13 schools in the GTA and the feedback from the teachers and kids has been wonderful! Apparently I have something to offer:)<br />
At the end of the summer I'll be sending out a new wave of emails which will hopefully lead to more invites and more visits, which means more sharing of the<i> Magic of Mosaics</i>.<br />
