Latest mosaic

I've started another mosaic recently. I haven't had as much time to work on it as I'd like but it's progressing. This time, I chose to do a bianco e nero, "black and white". This style is very common in the baths of Ancient Rome, and uses just two colors of natural stone - black and white.

Here are my tools of course, and the blocks of stone before I cut the pieces I need out of them. You can see various shards as well: the "leftover".

Here is the original design which we were able to see in the Capitoline Museum here in Rome. It's a representation of a season - most likely Spring.
