BEAD MOSAIC

Looking for a new hobby? Are you PATIENT? Do you have steady hands? Do you love challenges? Then BEAD MOSAIC might just be right for you.

Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It may be a technique of decorative art, an aspect ofinterior decoration, or of cultural and spiritual significance as in a cathedral. Small pieces, normally roughly cubic, of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae, (diminutive tessellae), are used to create a pattern or picture. - wikipedia-
This post is inspired by my High School friend who said this hobby all started as a school project and she continued on making great works for her love ones.
