mosaic & interiors: bathing is an art

I would choose artistic mosaic work for the bathroom and not industrial-commercial but I  think these samples are smashing, adding so much character in the space. What do you think? I love the grays..for the bathroom making a statement of minimal class, no more "blues" ...pictures from an italian newspaper-home section here.

Take a look at this superb intricate dress from spring 2011 Gwen Stefani's collection reminding of mosaic floors...and then browse through the following random pictures of mosaic floors of geometrical patterns...chosen for you so that you too can see the relevance.

Make your wrist glitter

I have previously featured Bea Valdes and some other bead work which would resemble in a way mosaic. The way I see it, this is a good start to begin to draw more people closer to mosaic art.

Here's what i digged out today, i love it, what do you think?

Soumela, Greece: Some mosaic highlights of a holy place

I will say little on Soumela and the place as I have been very lazy yet I have all the good reasons for not having the time to read and find out about the history but I know that it is one of the most famous destinations of pilgrimage in Greece dedicated to the Mother of God, Panagia. I am posting some pictures that I took of the interior and exterior of the church that I found most intriguing, sometimes unusually extraordinary and always highly expressive. I love the gold soothing glittering images from the interior which was very difficult to photograph....Hope you like it.

ps: All pictures taken by myself. Please do not distribute or publish without my consent. Thank you.

Mosaic table mat

Is the kitchen still a woman's kingdom?

Perhaps not anymore sadly.

I have made this mosaic with bisazza tesserae in light blue and brown.

ps: my posts will have to be very short as I am in the middle of a huge project in the house, hope you still enjoy the blog :)
