Carthago delenda est

My theme is  "Tunisia Past & Present" : this quilt belongs to the Past serie.
I've chosen to represent the chaos after Carthago's destruction : the broken mosaïcs,
red and yellow for the fire.
The vase is a lacrymal vase and I would like to keep it as a moto in the different quilts. 
The coins are made from rubbings with a real coin coming from Carthago.
The title is from the famous sentence said by Cato the Elder
"Carthago must be destroyed"

  1. I like it. Did you print the vases?

  2. I like the idea of using the vase on your pieces. It should really tie them together.
