eirekay - Jun, 22 2009 09:06pm Wonderful detail for Mosaics! jacko1 - Jun, 23 2009 02:06am I love this Petra, do you know if these are ceramic or glass mosaics?, pesu - Jun, 23 2009 05:06am Tony, I've found an information that the mosaics in Ravenna were mostly made of glass, with gold and silver leaf and nacre. For the two so-called imperial mosaics in the apse (one of them you can see here on the right) they used more than 320 000 particles. For a closer view to the other imperial mosaic: http://www.globosapiens.net/nemox1/picture-empress-theodora-and-her-entourage---67091.html. jacko1 - Jun, 23 2009 07:06am Thanks Petra, the last mosaic job I did before my illness took only 222.000 pieces :-) mistybleu - Jun, 23 2009 01:06pm This is a wonderful mosaic
