Un equipo de arqueólogos descubrió varios mosaicos romanos, perfectamente conservados, en algunos viñedos al norte de Italia. AFP.- Esto lo anunció el alcalde de la localidad Negrar di Valpolicella, cerca de Verona, Italia. Los suntuosos mosaicos romanos, con colores brillantes y diseños geométricos, forman parte, según algunos expertos, de una villa romana del siglo III, citada por arqueólogos desde 1922. “Fue muy impactante ver los mosaicos romanos debido a la calidad y conservación de los colores”, explicó a la AFP el alcalde, Roberto Grison. Los habitantes de esa célebre región vinícola, que produce el vino tinto italiano Valpolicella, estaban convencidos de que existían importantes restos romanos debido a una serie de investigaciones y excavaciones realizadas hace un siglo. Sin embargo, los mosaicos romanos fueron hallados solo ahora, en un lugar apodado la Villa y que según el arqueólogo del municipio, Gianni de Zuccato, fue como “entrar en una máquina del tiempo”, ya que se podía imaginar la elegante residencia del pasado. “Fue una sensación increíble, debo admitir que no podía mantener la calma”, confesó el arqueólogo. Asimismo, calcula que los mosaicos romanos, con piezas entrelazadas de color rojo, gris, blanco y café, se realizaron entre el año 250 y 400 años de la era cristiana. Las autoridades del municipio de Negrar di Valpolicella esperan que un día la villa pueda ser visita por el público, aunque reconocen que se trata de una labor colosal, que además requerirá fondos significativos y tomará mucho tiempo.

Mandalas em cerâmica - técnica mosaico Artistas: Brett and Lesley Campbell Veja mais: www.mosaics.com.au Mandalas em cerâmica - técnica pintura engobe Artista: Silvia Lopes Veja mais: www.silvialopes.com.br UM POUCO SOBRE AS MANDALAS A palavra MANDALA, no velho sânscrito, significa "o centro", "o círculo mágico", "o mistério". Universalmente, a mandala é o símbolo da totalidade, da integração e da harmonia. Em diversas culturas, a mandala é o símbolo da eternidade e é vista como um círculo poderoso que remete ao autoconhecimento. Entre os orientais é usada na prática da meditação. Geralmente é descrita como uma figura geométrica representada por um círculo sobre um quadrado ou vice-versa, mas pode ser também construída ou desenhada em forma de um círculo, um quadrado ou um retângulo, subdividido por quatro ou múltiplos de quatro, de maneira mais ou menos regular, incluindo-se ou não outras formas. Sua característica mais importante é que seu traçado é feito em torno de um centro, geralmente obedecendo eixos de simetria e pontos cardeais. Entretanto, seu contorno exterior não é forçosamente circular, mas dá a idéia de irradiar-se de um centro ou mover-se em direção a ele. Por isso, quando uma pessoa observa uma mandala tem a sensação de que ela se move ou pulsa. Por ser uma representação exterior de imagens do mundo interior, as mandalas são sempre individualmente diferentes. Isto porque, ao construir uma mandala a pessoa vivencia a sua criatividade, expressando-se através de seus próprios meios. Seja qual for a técnica utilizada em sua construção individual ou em grupo, seja qual for o seu uso ou finalidade de estudo, meditação, auto-conhecimento, todo trabalho com mandalas contribui para a harmonia e o equilíbrio da consciência em evolução. A mandala pode ser utilizada na decoração de ambientes, na arquitetura, ou como instrumento para o desenvolvimento pessoal e espiritual. Ela trabalha os seguintes aspectos pessoais: físico, emocional e energético. No aspecto físico, promove o bem-estar, o relaxamento e a prevenção do estresse. No aspecto emocional, pode trabalhar conteúdos oriundos de emoções antigas, atuais ou futuras, pois sinaliza aqueles que irão emergir. No aspecto energético, a mandala ativa, energiza e irradia, podendo harmonizar ambientes físico ou pessoal carregados negativamente, ou aura de sofrimento e tristeza. O importante é saber que para qualquer finalidade que se queira alcançar trabalhando com mandalas tem de se desenvolver a perseverança, a persistência e a força de vontade. "Trabalhar com mandalas é uma forma carinhosa de abrir o coração para a criatividade, a intuição e o amor".

Getting your loved ones under the same roof for the Christmas 2019 holidays? It’s the perfect time to take action! This year, get everyone together for some DIY Christmas 2019 projects. You’ll laugh, you’ll have fun, and we’re positive you’ll have enough cool photos to share on Instagram. What makes a good group DIY project? Image Source: Pinterest. If you’re looking for ideas that will keep everyone involved, they should: Have a goal: By the end, everyone should see a finished product. Include all skill levels: Make sure some tasks are easy enough for small fingers or limited abilities. Have all the materials on hand: There’s nothing worse than stopping the fun for missing pieces! Moreover, the Christmas spirit is all about bringing people together, making new memories, and celebrating how much we appreciate each other. So, let’s get you started on some ideas to spice up your holidays! Homemade Holiday Magic Image Source: Pinterest. Holiday-Themed mosaic projects are a perfect way to send everybody home with a treasure that they can use each year. Definitely, the best ones are not too difficult and the completed piece is relatively small. Ideally, it will be small enough to use as a Christmas decoration and pack-able in a suitcase for the trip home. Image Source: Pinterest. For any of these DIY Christmas 2019 decorations, you’ll want a selection of mosaic tiles and some wood cut-outs to use as the base for your projects. Everyone can create coasters that are fun and durable. First, use a simple graphic from a coloring book to trace on each one. Second, pre-cut squares are easy to find. Third, let everyone fill in the outlines with tiles. Finally, when they’re dry, apply cork to the back. As a result, you’ll have a coaster than can handle everything from cider to hot chocolate! Image Source: Pinterest. Now, using a pre-made wooden shape can open up a world of possibilities for tree ornaments. Hand out pencils for anyone ready to sketch their own design on the wood, or look for graphics online. This type of mosaic art creates amazing results. Any type of holiday icon is fair game, from Santa to Christmas trees that look like iced gingerbread. Image Source: Pinterest. Image Source: Pinterest. Don’t forget to try out some mosaic patterns on plain ornaments. Use smaller tile pieces that will fit more easily on the rounded surface. Image Source: Pinterest. Likewise, small wall hangings are also memorable and easy to pack in a suitcase! Be sure to add the date and signature on the back of your special mosaic art when you’re done. Image Source: Pinterest. On the other hand, younger members of the family can enjoy a simpler mosaic project with an outlined Christmas tree and an assortment of tiles. That’s to say, it’s a good way to keep them absorbed for an extended period. Just create the outline with Washi tape, and let them have fun filling it in. Image Source: Pinterest. Collaborate for Memorable Gatherings Image Source: Pinterest. Larger mosaic art group projects don’t have to be strictly about the holidays. To clarify, planning out the activity can involve a design you’ve already decided on in advance, or unfold more spontaneously. For example, if not everyone can make it to your holiday gathering, why not surprise them with the gift of a mosaic design that everyone has created as a collaboration? Even the youngest members of your group can participate by placing tiles into a piece. Image Source: Pinterest. Also, a custom mosaic Celtic coat of arms is a wonderful gift to present the head of the family or someone who will be getting married soon. Actually. did you know that Mozaico can create mosaic kits from your design? Custom Celtic Coat of Arm made by Mozaico. How about a piece of mosaic wall art that represents a beloved family pet like this Clown Dog Mosaic Art? Clown Dog Mosaic Art made by Mozaico. Most importantly, we can turn any photo into a handsome custom mosaic. With these kits, everyone can gather around and join in the fun of creating the special design. Another way to bring everyone together is by creating a mural in a garden or outdoor space. It’s easy for this to turn into a tradition at future family gatherings. Encourage your family members to bring new pieces on their visits to continue adding memories to your mural. Each part of your family can continue the tradition in their own homes. So, everyone will create something that will last through generations. Image Source: Pinterest. Moreover, consider decorating an outdoor tabletop for use in warmer months. Firstly, gather everyone around, sketch out a design. Then apply the tiles. There’s no need to fret about getting everything just right. Just enjoy the group project, and be sure to photograph everyone together with the end result. Image Source: Pinterest. Send Everyone Home With Something Joyful For projects that will be used long past the holidays, check out resources like Pinterest for DIY mosaic art ideas. As a matter of fact, every idea we found for this week’s blog came from Pinterest! As lovely as the Christmas holidays are, they do fall during the gloomiest part of the year. Send everyone home with a happy reminder of sunny days and good times to come with some of these ideas. Just like our others, there is room for everyone to participate. Set up a work area, gather round the table, and watch the happiness of group activities unfold! Stepping stones are the way to allow even the tiniest members of your gathering to join in. (Not to mention the adorable results!) Use their little hand-prints and footprints as the centerpiece of a simple mosaic design. They can even place simple glass marble pieces and add their name if they’re old enough. Image Source: Pinterest. Personalized projects are always popular. These are easy to make with die-cut numbers and letters that are easily available at arts and crafts retailers. If you’re planning this activity, it’s probably best to check with everyone in advance about what they’d like to make. This way, you’ll have the appropriate numerals and letters in the right amounts! For example, these house numbers are fantastic DIY glass mosaic projects. They can be mounted on a plaque or directly onto a wall back at home. Image Source: Pinterest. For a variation on this idea, create the design directly on the plaque (again, these are easy to find at crafts stores). Trace out the outline of the house number first, then fill in the shape with individual tiles. Subsequently, the flower pots and teacups are a unique touch. Image Source: Pinterest. It’s human nature to enjoy seeing your name or initials on something. So, we’ve found some ideas that will work for everyone, no matter what their individual tastes or skill level with mosaic patterns. Image Source: Pinterest. These letters don’t require any special trimming of the individual tiles. They’ve been applied on a diagonal. And the imperfections in how they’ve been placed just adds to the charm. Image Source: Pinterest. This style of mosaic design is quite personal. Use small items and colors that are meaningful. For example, some ideas for objects are charms, small toys, buttons, or similar small tokens. Image Source: Pinterest. A family name is deeply meaningful. Hence, this type of plaque is a wonderful piece of mosaic art to display at the front door. Moreover, for ideas on the type of lettering to use, look on Pinterest or the internet for font designs. Image Source: Pinterest. This Christmas 2019, don’t lose parts of your group to video games or the TV. However, get them together for some memory-making, art-creating fun! It’s definitely a tradition that will only keep growing from year to year. What do you think your family would enjoy creating together? What type of Christmas decorations would they use the most? What would you like to make for yourself? Let us know in the comments!

Below is a series of flowers that I've created as stained glass mosaics. All of the designs were hand drawn by me for this specific project. All of the glass in each mosaic is completely hand cut by me with basic hand tools: the pencil grip glass scoring tool, the running pliers, the flathead tile nippers and the wheeled nippers. Visit my open facebook page "Kasia Mosaics" to see lots more up to date process shots as well as new projects and news about my Online Stained Glass Mosaic Classes which are available for streaming world-wide - hope you take a look and enjoy! Sunflower, stained glass mosaic, 11"x11" (12"x12" framed), 2013 ~SOLD Watch the video below if you are interested in learning more about stained glass mosaics. It is a preview of my Online Stained Glass Mosaic Flower Class which is ideal for complete beginners as well as intermediate mosaic students. The Online Class comes with 12+ flower templates that can be used for the class projects. It covers my mosaic process from start to finish, covering every step of the way. Everything is documented via video tutorials that are supplemented with additional photos and written notes. The students in the class are invited to a private facebook group page where they can ask for advice and feedback on their work as well as interact with other students and to share their progress as well as finished projects. Above are the rough sketches I created for the mosaics. Here is a shot of the sunflower mosaic in progress. Its hard to choose which flower from this series is my favorite, but if I had to choose, it might be the sunflower. Before choosing the color palette for this flower, I figured I'd do the classic sunflower with the brown center ... somehow when I started looking at my glass, the brown didn't make sense for this one, I liked the look of the less common greener center Here is a shot of the lotus in progress. The lotus is a recurring element in my work. I've been wanting to make a purple one for a long time now so here it is! Here is a shot of the rose in progress. I've always really loved roses but if I had to choose which one I love the most, it might be the orange one. Here is a shot of the Colorado columbine in progress. Through out the summer on various hikes here in the mountains of Colorado, I have seen these beautiful flowers along the trail and was inspired to create one of my own. Here is a shot of the zinnia in progress. Zinnia's are Kyle's favorite flower to plant in the garden. He is really the one who has brought it to my attention. Seeing how much he loves these flowers, I just had to include it in my series. I feel that every part of the flower lends itself perfectly to being recreated with a mosaic pattern. This flower was particularly fun to create and I plan to revisit it in a variety of colors in the future. Above you can see part of the grouting process. I grouted all the flowers at the same time. Seeing them all come alive at the same time was very rewarding. Here is an Instagram shot I took of the view from my studio window while finishing up my mosaic flower project. Part of Kyle's stair garden is seen framing the beautiful view of the trees I get to enjoy everyday. Though out the summer, we watched the flowers blossom and attract the humming birds - it really was a treat and it inspired this little series. In September I took this photo thinking about how beautiful the rainy day was and how it made the flowers really stand out. At that time, I had no idea how much rain we were going to get in Boulder - that was the beginning of the big flood before we had to evacuate from our home. I had to put my project on hold while we were displaced. Eventually we got to visit our home for a few hours at a time and I got to come back to glue the flowers on day and then a few days later we came back to grout. Despite all that we had to deal with as a result of this natural disaster, I had to do my best to complete my project and it felt really good to sneak in a few hours of studio time during the five weeks we've been away from our home.
