Good evening, Mosaic Members!
 

Tomorrow at 1pm CST we’ll gather on Zoom for our next Meet & Greet + Mosaic Q&A. You can find all the details (and other upcoming events) in the calendar here. 
 

I’ll send the Zoom link about an hour before we begin and it's also available in the calendar. I hope you can join us! I also have a fun sneak peek to share for what’s coming this fall! 

If you have any Mosaic Questions to ask for tomorrow's Q&A, feel free to reply to this email. They can be mosaic, membership related or other! I will start to include 1-2 mosaic business questions in our Q&A's now that we've established our techniques pretty well. So, send them on in! Thank you!!

And don’t worry if you can’t make it live, meetings are always recorded and added to the membership. 
 

More soon!

Last week I posted a brand NEW class and Butterfly Mosaic Window Kit preorder to the membership. Use Membership Discount Code BUTTERFLY25 to save $25 on the kit preorder. This is the first ever window hanging mosaic kit and only available in the Member's Shop. 

This first batch will ship by September 14th and I'm so excited to get them to you! If possible, please submit your orders by September 9th to be included in this first drop. We are already prepping all the little parts and ordering the custom millies! Thank you so much for your orders! 

*I'm always striving to improve designs so the Kit frames have been updated a bit to have a thinner frame boarding the mosaic. I will be grouting my class sample and painting the frame soon, also coming to the class lessons. 

General Membership Questions? Let me know! 

To review, we've added six new classes with coordinating kits since we started in December! Wow!

And a Behind the Studio Scenes inside scoop on the big finish of this four foot sculpted mirror frame that I pulled out of storage last spring. 

I've also refreshed my Amazon Shop with many of the products we've discuss and use in the new classes. 

OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS:

MEMBER'S SHOP
The Members Only Collection of my shop also offers specialty materials only available to mosaic members. I have just restocked the acrylic glass vases for mini florals, paper collections and Winkleman's Tile (so lux!). The restock of the Dal Tile is 8-10 weeks out so only Winkleman's is available currently.

COPYRIGHT & INSPIRATION
I shared a post on this topic and appreciate your feedback and support in cultivating a thriving community where we all can share our hard work freely. If you have any questions feel free to add them into the comments. Thank you!

Sharra's Office Hours 
I aim to visit the forum daily to review posts, respond to your exciting project updates and questions (please keep them coming!).  

If a question is urgent and time sensitive I will respond in the forum as soon as I'm able. If it is a general, non-urgent mosaic technique question I will incorporate it into the next coming Membership Meeting within the Q&A segment.
 

Share your questions regarding mosaic techniques, materials, tools, projects, challenges into the Membership's coordinating group or topic if applicable. This creates a record of our topics, discussions and progress which is so fun to see add up over time! 

If you have questions regarding an order, a technical issue, such as logging in, accessing a class, ect., you may find the answer here in Support FAQ or email me at sharra@sharrafrank.com. I aim to respond to messages within 48 hours. 

Orders are currently shipping within 7-10 business days. I've been moving all my inventory to a larger space and training help so there's a bit of a lag currently but I think we're almost caught up (for a minute!).

Thank you, all so much for being here!

I'm having a blast building this amazing community of creative women with you all! Thank you for your important contributions and participation!  I hope to see you at our Live Members Meet & Greet tomorrow!

Love and Sparkle!
Sharra
