Lafayette, CA War Memorial (Connie English)

California mosaic artist and friend, Connie English, sent photos of mosaics which she is making for families who want a memorial cross in honor of a lost loved one at the War Memorial in Lafayette, California. She's made 4 so far and just got a call from a mother who lost her 34 year old son and wants a mosaic on his cross.

Connie is also making one to represent children killed in war. "It will be a bit tougher to do. It is heart wrenching to be up on that hill."

Information about the memorial can be found here and here.

This is the best new use of Mosaics I have seen in some time! I'm sure it will quickly evolve into all sorts of designs and lettering. Maybe even help end these wars someday.

God Bless
