Stars and Swirls

Today I’m taking you away
on a trip to Ireland
To stars, swirls and spirals,
Bright, colourful patterns,
Bits and pieces, bound
into magnificent MOSAIC     [ — Liz]

In January 2013, Maria with her partner Paul and their combined family of four children, were able to move into their own “small cottage built in 1924 with a bit of land”. Maria grew up in Sweden but moved to Ireland in 2004.

The blog-post below from 28 November, 2015 marked the completion of the big mosaic floor in the extension they’d added to their house.

“…the floor design is built around the elements, Air for the East, Fire for the South, Water for the West and Earth for the North. In the middle we have a star and slightly off centre a tree that all the elements originate from.”

When all the pieces come together…
