It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛

"Luna (the Moon) herself has ordained various days in various grades as lucky for work. Shun the fifth: then pale Orcus [Oath] and the Eumenides [Erinyes, Furies] were born."
Virgil, Georgics 1.276

Artist Steffen Maas made a mosaic portrait of the legendary Nelson Mandela at the corner of Krugerplein and Pretoriusstraat (also called “De Krugerkop”). 🇿🇦🙌

The mosaic was constructed from hundreds of wooden shields with South African patterns in 2014. It emerged from the collaboration between residents from the Transvaal buurt, among others. The mosaic was intended to confirm or emphasize the neighborhood's connection with South Africa. 🤝

Another pattern design is in the works. I clearly have an obsession with all-over mosaic shawls. Sorry, not sorry.

Two-color mosaic shawls are one of the best uses of those rando single skeins you have no idea what to do with.

Ememem Playfully Revitalizes Cracked Pavement With Vibrantly Patterned Tiles via Colossal [Shared]

No crack in a wall, step, or curb is safe from Ememem’s delightful interventions. The Lyon-based artist (previously), also known as “the pavement surgeon,” continues to scout out gaps in sidewalks that he fills with colorful tiles. Akin to kintsugi, the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold to embrace the history of the object, Ememem’s technique doesn’t hide imperfections so much as highlight their possibilities. While making the surfaces safer to traverse, he adds gives new life to decaying urban walkways.

Scholars have been diligently preserving the "Mosaico di Orione" (Orion Mosaic), dating from late 2nd to early 1st Century BC, found within the "House of Orion" in #Pompeii.

This extraordinary #mosaic, which depicts the myth of Orion's transformation into a constellation, remains in its original location, making it a rare & valuable piece of ancient art.

The "House of Orion" is remarkably well-preserved offering a unique glimpse into ancient Roman life
