"Your mosaics will be part of a wall panel in Park Baltimore"
Tova Shafran explains the process
"You are the first group to create mosaics in our new workshop !!!"
Koby RuLeZ !!!
8th grade kids from the Ashkelon Arts school came to lend a hand
work begins
You cement the mosaics and glass bits to the board with tile adhesive
Dad is good at this
a big selection of bits and pieces to choose from
stone bits, mosaic tiles, glass, bit and pieces
Sigal is everywhere at once !
This is such fun
Do you think we need more blue pieces?
Here you are, here's a good one
slowly slowly the piece of art mosiac takes form
this is one colorful arch, Robinson's arch?
The boys doing a great panel, maybe they'll take it up professionally?
Cooperation is the name of the game
no, I don't think I'll eat this but this knife is good for shmearing on the cement
Care and skill pay off
a master craftsman
That arch is looking gorgeous!
everyone had a go
busy busy busy busy busy busy
Absorbed in their task
Halfway through
what a selection of styles and pieces to choose to from
pressure - will we finish in time?
I think mine is the best
choices choices, which piece next?
Two together makes it easier
This is looking good!
This is really fun
Mom and daughter created a work of art
The guys in action
Sigal observing, later on she got stuck in too
The wailing wall, built in one hour!
I wonder if they'll try this at home?
Hey, what are those blue bits doing there?
Finishing up
Beautiful, if I say so myself
I hope I didn't get glue in my hair
Mr Arnold Plant
This piece will fit in right there
nearly there...
Maia Koby & Sigal found there was one board left over and got stuck in, working fast to make up time and catch up.
Gee, I love this!
nice, huh?
I think you dropped a piece, dear
