Completing the mosaic

This picture shows that all the local stones from the river are in place, and the white stones will now replace the shuttering. |

This is Janette finishing off the joins, and Maggie and Stella letting the children from school add their cobbles. |

Finished! The mosaic depicts the flood, the clouds are at the top, with white marble lightening coming out of them. The water flows down, and round the edges are the waves with green slate fishes being swirled round. Cookers, fridges, sheep and tractors were not included due to technical difficulties, unlike the original flood. |
