Mosaic for my aquarium wall

If only I could get this mural done!

The world is out there waiting with its fun.

I’ve friends to greet and meals to eat

and sweepstakes to be won,

If only I could get this mural done.



If only I could get this mural done,

I’d catch the final romance of the sun.

I’ve leaves to rake and bags to take

to goodwill or some one

If only I could get this mural done.



If only I could get this mural done

I’d finish other projects I’ve begun

I’ve soup to make and bread to bake

And recipes – a ton.

If only I could get this mural done.



If only I could get this mural done!

I’d spend awhile with my aged mum

I’ve tales to spin, art to begin

Ideas that die alone,

While I must work to get this mural done.     DW 2006

This mosaic wall is 5 ft by 8 ft tall and when completed will be composed of glass, rock and shell with a black grout in the glass area.  At about 6 ft it will be broken up by a shelf and hopefully a waterfall.  I must complete it to move my aquarium out of my bathroom where it has resided for a little over a year.  I've played with it for almost a month and have worked seriously since I returned from my trip to the southwest between classes, firing, home, meetings and blogging.  It's moving a little faster now that I'm into the glass phase.
