Toad (10" x 7") - Mary liked toads - both her mother Gracie and her son Jabez had kept pet toads at one time or another.  In this mosaic, she was able to capture the essence of the complex markings on a toad's back with a minimum of stones.  Mounted in a forged iron frame, this small mosaic served as a trivet in countless dinners prepared by Mary for people who came through 81 Washington Avenue.
