Temporary Artwork–Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge

My sister and I happened upon these works of art in front of a small neighborhood church in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and we were intrigued with the artistry and technique that went into making these colored sawdust scenes. Amazingly, they were made one day, and the next day they were gone! Sidewalks swept, cleaned, and… Continue reading Temporary Artwork–Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge
