The Marblekeepers — My Mosaics by Kate Samuels

The Marblekeepers

In early 2020, COVID-19 hit home and by mid-March we were in lockdown. We can’t lose our marbles over this, I thought. In these extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. The Marblekeepers below were created to take on that task, and in appreciation I have named each one after those who have helped me to hold onto my marbles.
