Yes, I know we can buy these locally.
But look! They are pretty! And we can cut them apart and sew them back together for excellent Byzantine-type tunicy things.
Saris
Or at least it gives us some idea as to how much we might be paying for these.

artfacts, gold tiles
Look what I found. It seems the gold tile was a sandwiched tile.

Mosaic supply company
I found this online. They are based in Atlanta but are a warehouse. So, you have it shipped to you. They have all kinds of tile from cermanic to glass to marble.
Mosaic classes
In any case anyone is looking for the perfect present for me. How about a class in Italy about Mosaics ? Just kidding. It fun to think a studio is doing Byzantine mosaics today.

Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies Website
I found this a couple of weeks ago but didn't have time to post it. The link is to their "Byzantine Links" page but you may want to cheak out their other pages such as the "Society Publications" page. Make sure to scroll all the way down to the ideas for Amazon.
