mosaic from Pompeii (2nd cent. bc)
It was inserted in the floor of a house. It is supposed to be the portrait of a princess or a poetess

I just love the vivid colors in these smalti slabs

Nek Chand Rock Garden - in progress
"we used mortar and cement and a bit of sifted sand. I buttered a wet tile, and tapped to stick to a wet wall. The tiles were all donated from renovations/etc. Everything in the 25 acre garden was recycled/repurposed. I as only there for 1.5 weeks, everyone else was to be there for 3 weeks-month... if you want to go, check with http://www.nekchand.com/ -there is a volunteer link... " (info from photographer) I only wish I had been there...
