Ham and Bread Rolls

Last year a customer requested a present for a good friend,  a birthday present. She didn't know what to get her as "she had everything".  And then she thought of Pamosaic.

I asked if she had an idea.  She did not.  I then asked her what was the best thing about seeing her friend.  She said "ham rolls".  "I don't know where she gets the ham from, but they are the best rolls in the world".

And so we agreed that was going to be the picture, the mosaic, a joint of ham and a basket of rolls.

For the background, I asked the customer for the colour of her friends kitchen tiles – "orangery red".

The mosaic is complete, fingers crossed her friend likes it.  It was an unusual request but it obliviously holds lots of memories and good times spent with her friend.

Ham and rolls:

Devon pottery used for the plate surround.

Real poppy seeds used for the tops of the rolls.
