A picture in pieces

Mosaics: I think they're kinda cool.

The mosaic has its origins in the Mediterranean, and found its way into Christian art in the 4th century, where its popularity as an art form took off.

Though the tesserae were often deliberately manufactured cube-shaped tiles, a mosaic is an excellent way to use up all that busted crockery.

'Mosaic' is an excellent word to describe how many of us experience life, in its brokenness and in its beauty.

Next time one of your teacups hits the floor (literally or metaphorically), rejoice in the opportunity to make a new picture!
