Artists drew a design of the mosaic they were going to make.Then they spread wet plaster over a small area of the floor or wall and smoothed it down.They quickly pressed the pieces of stone into the plaster while it was still damp,following their design

Frida's parents were married shortly after the death of Guillermo's first wife during the birth of her second child. Although their marriage was quite unhappy, Guillermo and Matilde had four daughters, with Frida being the third. She had two older half sisters. Frida remarked that she grew up in a world surrounded by females. Throughout most of her life, however, Frida remained close to her father. Her family remains a presence in the artistic world to this date; the actress, writer and singer Dulce María is her great-niece.

Great to see you keeping up this sight, I will defiantly be using it for developing my art lessons.
