The archaelogical site at Italica, Spain is such a fascinating place to visit! This detail of a mosaic floor found in the excavation of an elite Roman villa is a marvel. It is part of a larger floor featuring many different birds that has lasted through the ages to delight us today.

Part of a sculpture with ceramic tiles with the title 'Dona i Ocell' (Woman and bird) van Joan Miró in Barcelona. I really love this color as it resembles lapis lazuli.
Fun fact: In my photo it looks like a convex form, but in case it is a hollow form.
From the bottom of the escalator looking back it's a lot easier to see how the blue mosaic lined skylight brings an eerie natural light down to the lowest level of the metro station.

Attracting many visitors daily, Vinh Trang Pagoda has become an essential stop on any Mekong Delta day trip from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). The temple complex features two gates, both built in 1933 by skilled craftsmen from Hue. The architecture mirrors that of Vietnam’s imperial capital and are adorned with intricate mosaic ceramic pieces depicting dragons, unicorns, turtles, as well as Monks and Kings.
I forgot to load a closeup of the tape dispenser I made for my sister for her library. Seeing Floy's recent one reminded me I should post a closeup of hers.

The horns were so pretty, and I tried to use tile colors that reflected the colors in the horns.
Niki de Saint Phalle's Buddha (2000) is a vibrant sculpture located at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Standing over three meters tall, it depicts a seated figure adorned with brightly coloured mosaic tiles, a technique inspired by Antoni GaudÃ-. This work exemplifies Saint Phalle's signature style, merging art and functionality, as the sculpture includes a seat at the back, blurring the line between artwork and usable object.
Saint Phalle began creating figurative works in the mid-1960s, notably her iconic "Nana" figures, which celebrated the female form and paralleled modern feminist efforts to reconsider and revalue the female body. Her use of mosaic surfaces was inspired by GaudÃ-'s technique of applying broken ceramic tiles, as seen in Buddha.

I wasn't happy with the blue grout edging and realized I should have brought it in closer to the center. I think it looks much better now.
This is about 6 1/2" square, wall hanging. Stained glass and mille for the eye.
Going to work on more birds because it is just fun and makes me happy. lol

I used glass gems and globs, stained glass scraps for the eyelashes, and pretty pink vitreous tile for the face.
At Venice's iconic St. Mark's Square, a must visit is Basilica di San Marco with its unparalleled Byzantine artistry and Mosiac Art. These mosaics, dating back to the 13th century, are primarily located in the lunettes above the portals. Upper arcades are decorated with Gothic ornamentation.
