Rotorua Public Library Exhibition of Animal Photographs by Janet Keen

 





Me in front of exhibition enticing other participants


 Christine Street, ( long term friend and artist)  liked the hedgehog
 
Graham my darling husband liked the  photo of himself  relaxing in front of a gate at Ohiwa harbour and bought it from me. How kind for above his desk  But he also loved the goat.

 He signed the visitors book, you all only have one more week to go in and see it.

 

Little kids always like animals
 
 
 Angela I've known for years is always a good participant, she loved the giraffe
 Vilna is often in the library as well, she is a dog lover .
The dog was exceptionally popular and won the number of votes.

Family Mosaics in Rotorua


Look at these beautiful people with their lovely mosaic creations.
Two fish and a dog, each one different, each with it's own personality.


We had such a lovely time in the school holidays making the mosaics together.
It's happy people like these who make my job and life so enjoyable.

You can book your family in for a  pleasurable mosaic making experience in the school holidays.
Just phone Janet on 346-3435 or email jkeen@clear.net.nz for times and prices.

These mosaics were made and grouted in three hours.
