Mosaics


So the Ancient Romans like to make mosaic art,
and we do too!
Instead of using expensive tiles, we used broken plate pieces.

 
We picked a plate...


 
...put it in doubled-up Trader Joe bags and dropped it.
MANY times.


 
 The plates would not break.
So we got out our very Ancient Romanish hammers.


 
Our tiles.
Art waiting to happen.


 He told me the yellow is the sun, with a rainbow over it.
The blue is sky, the brown the ground.

 
And the red is a house, the white on it being the gutter.

A fun time for him and Reuben. 
Especially the destroying of the plates.

Impressive.
