Nice to see you here! I've been exposed to this kind of art before. My grandmother has such paintings in her house. If I remember correctly she got them from her friend. Your wife made beautiful works. I can't imagine how much patience it takes to create something like this. These elements are so tiny!

Your grandmother had them? How long does this exist? I can only remember mosaic with glass or parts of broken tiles.

Yes, she has them. I won't say exactly how old they are. Maybe around 10 years old.

Thank you for letting me know

Nice to see you here too. This is my first time here and hopefully, not the last. Wow. I would really like to see those paintings that your grandma has. They must be very beautiful.

My wife hangs a "DoNot Disturb" sign when she's doing this 😀 Yes, patience and good eyesight 😊

Patience and good eyesight and the "don't disturb" sign. I should have a sign like that.

Yes, artist at work. You definitely need a sign like that. Throw in a good lamp with a high watt bulb to help you see the tiny pieces. Voila. You're set! 😊

Two things I don't have: light and privacy.

Funny how things some people can take for granted, such as these two, can be what others find hard to acquire. I am so used to having light, space and privacy where I am now that I always think everyone has these as well. So sorry to hear your lack of space and light. I just hope you have learned to cope with such conditions, as it seems you have, and make the best out of them. Know that these are only temporary and somehow, sometime they can get better. 😊

I will take pictures of these paintings when I visit my grandmother 😊.

I eagerly look forward to seeing the photos. Thanking you in advance for sharing 😊
