We worked on this one together, and the only "difficulties" were creative ones - you know, trying to figure out the design as we went along, selecting pieces, etc. (Depending on how picky you are, a mosaic could be either really easy or difficult. Also, how picky you are can also help determine how cohesive something looks.) This mosaic took a full day's work - longer than I expected, yea, although I had no real concept of what this would take beforehand. I’ve never done any mosaics before, although Tamar has.

I'm glad you slowed down for that extra touch - it looks perfect. Had you done any mosaic before? Did it feel easy to you, or did you have to mess around with it longer than expected? Beautiful.

I was so focused on the construction portion of things, that I never even thought of any sort of decoration. It really adds something to the building. Wow.
