Covid brought about a new and popular
element to her art business: mosaic kits! To
keep the business going when people weren’t
coming out to classes, Pauline developed kits
with everything needed to create a mosaic of
a specific theme. The kits were originally sold
to her students and through farmers markets.
They have since become a big part of her
business and can be purchased through her
website (glassyalley.com), at her studio at 1940
Texas Ave., and through the many art shows in
which she participates. Her holiday kits always
sell well as do the geckos, wine bottles, and
various Texas themes. Football helmets that
can be customized with your team’s colors are
especially popular.

Glassyalley is about more than classes—it is
also an art gallery and antique shop. Plus, it is
where Pauline does her own art. Since 2019, the
City of Levelland has been known as the City of
Mosaics and features many of Pauline’s mosaics
and some done by her former students. The
“Squares on the Square” contains 80 handrails
done by her students who each volunteered to
do a square. You can also see Pauline’s work on
