I’m thrilled that this project has been realised, it had just been an idea in my head for so long! A year of mosaic workshops in my kitchen, seventy six people in total! The mosaics are all so unique, each one a small reflection of the person who made it.
I hope it brings a smile and you enjoy visiting it. Perhaps you notice something new each time you do?
If you notice any damage please let me know asap and I’d love to see any photos you take with it.
HUGE thanks to all of you that participated…
