The pattern for the 'Mosaic Star' motif was the Advent Gift for Day 23. This post has now been removed.
This
design was inspired by the really fine and meticulous tile mosaics created by
Persian artisans to decorate important buildings such as mosques and palaces.
Some of the designs I used as my inspiration were so intricate and had such
fine detail that I could never hope to recreate them, but hopefully this piece
evokes at least a little bit of the spellbinding nature of the traditional
mosaic designs.
