"Mosaic" is the first transformation of my basic origami-tessellation: 'Blueprint', I want to show you.

The Savior on Blood Church harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.[4]
The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world.The walls and ceilings inside the church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics — the main pictures being biblical scenes or figures — but with very fine patterned borders setting off each picture.
The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day—including Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel — chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland,
Fifth to sixth century mosaics around the cupola of the Rotunda, Thessaloniki. The Rotunda was built in 306 AD as a Roman mausoleum or a temple. It is the oldest (still standing) building in Thessaloniki. After "paganism" was outlawed at the end of the fourth century, the building was consecrated as a church and the mosaics fitted within the next one hundred years. The surviving fragments are impressive enough and one of only three comparable examples of early Byzantine mosaic art (the two others being Constantinople, the Agia Sofia in particular, and Ravenna). What fascinates me are the images of Hellenistic and Roman buildings on the wall. One of them has been identified as the Library of Ephesus. Martyr's or donors do stand in front of these buildings, but the image overall is urbane. Christianity is clearly seen as the religion of city dwellers. Interestingly, the original meaning of the Latin term "paganus" is a person from the countryside. The English language got quite close to this when applying the word "heathen" to non-Christians.

The exterior of the church is made up of panels depicting scenes from the New Testament. Dujring the Siege starving citizens gathered to pray under the Tympanum finding solace in its depiction of Christ on His throne.
"Eyewitness Travel"
Here's a collage of butterflies & dragonflies & wildlife from waay back in the archives! Lots of new odes & butterflies coming soon.
It seems daunting that we aren't even halfway through the year however, I am working daily to learn something new and apply it. I feel like I need to find some direction for my project. It looks like May was full of flowers, hearts, pinks and blues. I experimented with light, processing and now I have a new lens to play with too.
Deesis Mosaic which dates back to the 13th century is thought to occupy the place of an earlier mosaic under it. It is located in the upper south gallery.
Due to the open windows left to it, the Virgin part has been damaged for centuries.
In the mosaic; Virgin, St. John the Baptist and the Christ are begging for the salutation of man by showing emotions in a realistic style.
Mit dem Rad zum Kühkopf...
Der Kühkopf ist eine vom Oberrhein und einem seiner Altarme gebildete Insel im Hessischen Ried. Er gehört zur Stadt Riedstadt (nördlicher Teil) und zur Gemeinde Stockstadt am Rhein (südlicher Teil).
Der Kühkopf war ursprünglich eine Binnenhalbinsel, vom Altrhein bei Guntersblum (Rheinland-Pfalz) umflossen. Im Zuge der Rheinbegradigung (1828/1829) trennte man das Gebiet vollständig vom linksrheinischen Festland ab, womit der Kühkopf zur Flussinsel wurde. Die nahezu unbebaute Insel bildet heute, zusammen mit der nördlich gelegenen Knoblochsaue und einigen kleineren vorgelagerten Rheininselchen im Altrhein, das Naturreservat „Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue“. Von dem insgesamt 2.440 Hektar großen Naturschutzgebiet entfallen allein auf Kühkopf rund 1.700 Hektar. Die Insel ist über zwei Brücken erreichbar

On 1st January 2010 I started to take a square photo every day and upload it to Flickr. Fifteen years later I'm still doing it, having not missed a single day. In those fifteen years there were 5479 days, this is a prime number, so the nearest square number only contains 5476 photos. Here they are!
We are mosaics--
pieces of light,
love,
history,
stars--
glued together
with magic
and music
and words.

Mosaic done an a table measuring 2 ft by 2ft. I had so many different depths that I had to pour resin to even the surface so drinks won't fall over. It worked out nicely!
