My First Mosaic

When people ask me what made me want to start making mosaics, I usually tell them the story of how I visited a mosaic exhibition and was inspired by the art there.

He has been a keen gardener all his life and is interested in nature conservation, particularly butterflies and moths. So I decided to make him a mosaic for the garden, based on a photo of a moth that he had taken.
