					<description><![CDATA[I happened upon this mosaic by chance this morning while waiting for my Covid booster time at Haggerston Pharmacy. It is the most beautiful piece of art -- so intricate and certainly a labour of love. I then got home and lo and behold, the GA had an article on it so I know a lot more now The pharmacist giving me my booster said one of mosaic makers is a customer so I told him to please relay my thanks for such an uplifting start to my day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That is just fabulous. Neo-Roman Mosaic. There should be an art category named just for her work. Hopefully that mosaic will still be there long after those ugly buildings are gone. 

I have really enjoyed all of the articles and especially photos of Tessa&#039;s work from this blog. I&#039;ve followed the links, visited her website and even bought a few books.

I love mosaics and have even attempted a few garden steppingstones. Now that I have some proper tools, time and the inspiration from her work and your blog, I&#039;m going to try it again. Just very small projects and nothing even approaching her beautiful mastery. But I am inspired to make a few more stepping stones for my front garden. 

I have seen some original Roman mosaic work, both here in the U.S. and on a recent trip to Italy. Tessa can rival any of them. It&#039;s her own unique style as an artist but every bit as fine. Should I ever have a chance to travel to London, I will be doing a tour of locations where all of her mosaics are. I&#039;ll  make a list and map them out before I even pack my bags. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful showcase and information on her work. Of course, you are  inspiring too. So many place to go see just from reading all of your blog posts. 

I hope by the time I visit, if I ever do, the Chapel Bell Foundry will be saved and a working museum with tours, information and demonstrations. 

If there is anything positive to come from the current pandemic, I hope that it has slowed the developers down and stopped some projects from moving forward.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So enchanting. Although I find her early ones from hoxton of plants and flowers thickly strewn are the most refreshing, in their patterened borders. Nature in its patterened complexity, the jeweled bursts of blossoming plants! I like the sheep. Boris, build these everywhere. Go Tess!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A splendid Tribute to Hope, who came out of Pandoras Box..  I often  wonder what would have

happened if Epimetheus like his brother Prometheus had also rejected the beautiful Pandora?

Prometheus knew that Jupiter was vengful . Of the stolen gift of Fire he gave to Humanity. 

Would life as we know it to-day be different?   If Epimetheus had not been such a fool..?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This mosaic is absolutely beautiful.  I love everything about it, its beautiful delicate colours, the lettering, the design of the plants, fruits and animals with  each bit of space so elegantly filled, and all its references to the history of the area and to individuals.  Lots of classical references too - it could take its place on any Greek or Roman site where it would hold its own among the most skilful and finest mosaics of previous ages.  Congratulations to everyone involved in its making and installation, and to Hackney for commissioning it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was delighted with this article; with the news here in the United States being so bad it was a joy to read something inspiring. The mosaic is beautiful!

When I woke this morning I made myself consider, &#039;Something remarkable might happen today...&#039; -- and look! Something did.
