Impressive indeed, especially as Charithea is actually working there.
An inspiration to us all.
Lovely work on display also

I should wish I had been able to make mosaics like Charitea, I am really impressed.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Of course if it was raining I would have been inside getting on with other unfinished jobs. I find the forum so informative and the pictures very exciting that I forgo my sudokus and look at the forum first. When I finish my path I shall attempt to put photos on using my iPad using Jorun's instructions.  Thanks you all for the information. Charithea

I loved the iris mosaics hanging up in your "workroom", Charithea.

Hi Alice I am always days behind in my replies. The irises were one of the earliest of my mosaics about 15 years ago. I was learning how to define the edges and combine the colours. Had the Forum existed then I would have been able to take inspiration from Fermi's wonderful iris collection and produced a freize.

The SA branch is proposing to run a mosaics workshop later this year. It will be led by a professional artist/ mosaicist. I will post photos.

Now I have to rethink my favourite
Will you be able to put all 14 on one post when they are  finished?

That might be a bit of a tall order, Hilary, as they are stepping stones across an area of the garden. Even if I stand on top of a stepladder I doubt if my camera will have a wide enough angle to take them all in. We'll have to see what can be done when the last 2 are finished.

It almost looks like the flower on slab 11 is growing upwards. And no 12 is pretty good too!

Certainly makes a return visit to Sparoza high on the list of priorities for the near future. The last two are stunning and I can't wait to see the final two. :)
