Mosaics

We have been studying the Byzantine empire this week. When the emperor Justinian had to rebuild the Hagia Sophia (a large beautiful church) he has a lot of mosaics put in it.
So we thought it would be fun for our this week Art to make our own mosaics. Since I was slightly short on glass, gold, silver & other precious metals like they used in the church; we ended up making ours with tissue paper.
