I am finally done with my mosaic class. The lion I made was unveiled today and it turned out to be a fine imitation of the original Byzantine model. I never expected the class would take me 20 days to complete, and I never guessed that I would be so utterly fed up by the end of it precisely because it took forever and I had other plans. I used to think I am a patient person, and I still do, but now I know my limitations. I am too practical for mosaic puzzles regardless of their artistic merit — at least that’s my immediate impression. I might consider doing another mosaic after I am done with the GRE, for now the stress is too heavy to enjoy artsy diversions.

And here he is, King of the Jungle, after being flipped over to reveal the level side:

From Mosaic Class …

All bow to majesty.
