Byzantine mosaic card

This is one of the things I have been working on since my last post. I have also been very busy with some charity work and I have finally been able to sit down and take some pictures of my first card. It is composed of mosaics from Constantinople and Thessaloniki and what they have in common (besides being of religious character) is the different tones of gold and blue that blend so fine. The inside of the card is blank. I have also framed the card to see how it looked like as a picture.

Mosaic cards

I have recently came across these stunning mosaic cards, a work of Tamar Hammer who uses illustration, photo-processing and collage to create these lovely images. Naturally I was enarmoured of them and captivated by the mere fact that someone who is not into mosaic making appreciates their strong appeal and of course these are subjects that I would have chosen myself.

Tamar sells her work on etsy here which is not restricted to mosaic.

You can check out her blog.
