\"Mosaic<\/p>\n

It has Swarovski crystals in it (five of them) but those are not the only facets in this piece. Having lived with this piece of mosaic art (complete) for 4 days (and just waved it goodbye as it goes off to the BAMM mUsaic<\/strong><\/em> exhibition<\/a>), I have been amazed at the many facets to this piece – it just changes so<\/strong><\/em> much through the day as the light in the room changes.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons for this is not just that the piece is made of irridescent tiles, but that I went so far as to sort each sheet of colour into the subtle different colours within it (I discovered there were some tiles with more blue \/ green \/ gold in them).
