"Show Must Go On" (...says Ali!)

We now start a new order.
It is composed of  three mosaic copies whom originals can be seen at Umm Er Rasas, a UNESCO's archeological site a few kilometres away from Madaba;
The first one shows "Moab Karak" (Jordan), second "Askalan" (Ashkelon in Israël) and the last "Jerusalem".


Carbon paper used to reproduce the outlines of the original mosaic onto the fabric.





Natural stones for natural colours.

A Master Chef cooking the glue!

For this piece we use five millimetre stones that can be applied with the fingers like the first mosaic's craft-men!

This mosaic is curved and will be inserted in  a niche for the decoration of Kempinski Hotel Ishtar by the Dead Sea.
