The bird bath pictured for prospective bidders in the April 5,2014 blog post, sold at the SUV April auction for 1K.  Not bad for a first-time mosaic project. Not quite an Antonio Gaudi masterpiece, or on par with Moorish tile patterns, but what a great community effort, thanks to parent helpers, teachers and students!

Speaking of mosaic sculptures, Gaudi and Moorish architecture, my #1 and #2 bucket list items (Gaudi and the Alhambra) were fulfilled this summer with a trip to Spain. Finally, my 30-year dream became a reality in Barcelona, Granada, as well as Mallorca and Madrid.  A few images from our 5,000+ pics and clips collection can be seen in 3 posts following this one: Spain - Parts I, II, & III.   Gaudi was the inspiration for the first of these animated slideshows created for friends and family.

Casa Batilo, Antonio Gaudi
