Inspiration for a Mosaic Floor

As you may have noticed from my latest posts, I've been going through the "inspiration" photos on my iphone. I am happy to see that along with the many blurry photos that my 2-year old niece snapped of table legs and walls, I also have a few inspirational shots that I took on vacation last fall. Take this pic for example: I loved the marble mosaic floor in the bed and breakfast we stayed in while in Rome (click on the pic to make it larger). However I have enough inspiration to keep me working on miniature projects for a lifetime, so perhaps someone else will find it useful? And of course, I had to share the tourist photo below. That's me in a not-so-flattering pose (as my mother pointed out). It seems as though I can't get enough of small things!
