We had a planter built into the deck years ago that we recently decided was going to rot things out. As a result, we cleared the dirt and watering out of it not too long ago. That left a big empty box on the deck, and a big project ahead to make it look like we planned it all along. One thing led to another, and the next thing I know Dara has a major art project underway -- an iris mosaic. Here is the work in progress, above. We have some people coming over to the house on Sunday, so like old architecture school days of yore, she's pulling all nighters to get it finished. I'll post another picture when the masterpiece is in place and becomes the visual anchor point for the deck!

Iris Lady Does Mosaics, Too

What is the Iris Lady going to do with this mosaic? It's lovely.
Re-reading, I see it isn't as obvious as I thought it was. It will become a mosaic tabletop on top of the big rectangular hole that was left when we removed the dirt from the built-in planter. It will be at the end of the bench on the deck. I am hoping I'll be allowed to put a drink on it every now and then.
