RecentlyI returned from a holiday in Scotland touring the Western Isles and the Hebrides. While there, I was able to visit the Blue Pig Studio, much by chance as all the stars must of have been alignment. Touring with Best Scottish Tours, we visited Hebridean Soap Company located on the Isle of Lewis. I remarked to the owner who had given us a tour of their soap making operation about the mosaic mirror above her wash sink. She told me that a friend of hers made it years ago. Our tour guide, Terry Markwick, made further inquiries and delivered me to the Blue Studio where I met Jane Harlington who was so generous to allow me to take some of her stash. In return, I have surprised her with an assortment of my tesserae. I sentthe package out last week. I have never shipped internationally so this was a bit of a learning experience.
