Magnificent Moms Mission Mosaics !

The colorful mosaic wall panels, created by women from Ashkelon & Baltimore during the "Moms Mission" to Ashkelon in July 2009, were hung in the Michael Lapidus Baltimore Park & Lynn Stacie Getz Playground in Ashkelon this week.
The panels portray Israeli flowers and are now situated next to the Jerusalem plaques created by the Plant Futrovsky family in June 2008.
See photos of the plaques being created by the MOMs at a workshop run by Ashkelon artist Nira Portugaly HERE
Each panel is unique
Sigal's daughter Gily admires the panels
The panels are located to the right of the panels created by the Plant Futrovsky family.
