People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
But when the darkness sets in,
Their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

This is the first time I noted this sigy.

Are you a big follower of her work?

I write a lot about her 5 stages of grief myself.

Having experienced her five stages of grief, I enjoy her work from a personal perspective.

I adore that little poem because it is so true... its me. I love it when I find small pieces of literature that describe a piece of who I am.

When people ask me to tell them something about me, my answer is always "I'm a mosaic." Then I quote them this little poem. Mosaics are the most beautiful pieces of art and architecture - but what are they? Broken pieces of something that was once whole... but they are more beautiful because they've been broken...

... wow... didn't expect to go there tonight...

... sigh... holidays stink. :)

That was truly an inspirational post hist.

Thank you for that insight into your personality!

I am also a survivor and have her work posted in here to it's entirety.

:) Thanks, KBC. From one "survivor" to another, glad you're here. :)

Thank you. :)

Yup, router, and it wasn't fun, but so worth it, back then I didn't have a router table, so I just used a piece of wood and a lot of clamps. I joined them with dowling. I didn't want to nail them or screw them together. I did screw the base that holds up the tile though, it's a heavy tile, I wanted it to be sturdy.

Got to love oak. Those pieces where leftovers from when we did our ledging in the basement. :)

No can do, that table is gone, I gave it away as a birthday present to my friend for her 40th birthday two years ago.

The legs are dowled to the top of the table and then the base for the tile is screwed into the legs, just to make it more sturdy. I usually build a shelf underneath, for stability and looks.

I'll take more pictures soon and post them. I usually make around 10 of one type of table, different woods, different stains, different laquers, then I start a new design.

I love using tile. A few years back a friends brother worked for a demolition company. They were demolishing a tile company. He called us and asked if we'd like to come remove the tile from the show room, whatever we removed would be ours. We spent 4 days there, ended up with some really nice tile. The tile was so easy to remove, they only attached it with glue because they redid the showroom a lot and wanted the tile to be easy to remove. I have slate, granite, you name it. I could probably make around 10,000 tables, or tile my entire house, including the walls. ;)

We are all survivors of something, so can I join in?

KBC, love the poem, made a tear run down my face. Thanks for sharing it. :)

HC, you know we're here for you dear. The holidays are always tough. For me it's after the holdiays that's hardest. My dad's 8th anniversary is on January 12th 2009.

Darnit, I didn't expect to go here either.

Okay, happy thoughts, big smiles. Don't make me kick someone's butt. ;)
