Making mosaic makes sense for me...
it combines several of my artistic preferences and personality traits.
Artistic
- color: variations, combinations and relationships, the use of transparent and opaque colors, fascination with effects of glass reflectivity and transparency (window and mirrors, crystals)
- piecing shapes, as in puzzles, making clothing and knitting patterns, weaving beads... discovering the keys to making all parts work together in unity to make a cohesive whole (I do a daily "evil" Sudoku: the sudoku site I use)
- planning a design on strong geometrical foundations, measurement and applied math - ratio and proportion
- awareness of line to create unity, visual flow and movement
Personality
- taking risks in trying new ways of expression
- creating a stable environment
- having a sense of history: past, present and future
- desire to conquer psychological fear (it is interesting to me at least that I have gone from learning to spin wool (soft soft soft non-threatening) to cutting glass (sharp sharp sharp very threatening)
- being physically active in a non-competitive way
