A finished mosaic back splash is a perfect touch to a custom home, Corrales, New Mexico style.  Incorporating handmade tiles of barrel cactus, flowering Yucca, flowering agave, and flowering aloe, along with a Jack Rabbit, butterflies, purple cactus, a family of quail,gecko, hummingbirds, and the sun peaking through the clouds.

The project took two days to install.  The owners were so gracious to me as well as their 6 well behaved cats.  Since I never got around to Go Pro-ing the installation,  here are some still shots of the process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My travels back home with monsoons all around  me was such a treat to watch all the way.

Dramatic!  Columns of Rain.

Hatch, New Mexico where I stopped to pick up a yellow watermelon and Hatch wine!
