The head of John F Kennedy is back, on his Birmingham memorial

For those, like me, who have been keeping an eye of Oliver Budd’s blogsite, will know that the head of John F Kennedy is back on the mosaic he is recreating in his workshop.

Oliver started earlier this month putting the thousands of small tiles together to form the mosaic that will re-create the 1968 John F Kennedy memorial in Digbeth.

I attach a photo showing how progress on the mosaic has seen the John F Kennedy head put back on the mosaic.

Oliver Budd who is recreating the memorial has started a daily blog, showing photos as his work progresses – see his blog at http://www.buddmosaics.co.uk/newsblog.html

Readers who follow my own blog will know I have taken a lead role in getting the John F Kennedy memorial re-created in Digbeth, Birmingham.
