A mosaic art show was held at Zion Lutheran church in Dashwood May 2. More
than 35 pieces were included in the show.The pieces were selcted from the work
of about 25 participants in a February workshop, which grew out of a desire to
use the stained glass removed from the church. Church glass, antique glass, broken
dishes and mirrors were combined to create magnificent pieces. Above, Elaine
Datars looks into her own mirror frame flanked by pieces by Glen and Peggy
Restemayer and Eleanor Rader. (photo/submitted)
