What is Mosaic?
A Mosaic is an image or design, where small pieces of media such as glass, tiles, shells, and much more are placed together with space showing between them. The goal here is to make an image or design from lots of broken pieces. Sometimes the space left is filled with grout, however, grouting is optional. In ancient Greece, nearly 4000 years ago exquisite mosaic tiled floors, walls and ceilings were very popular. Some of these exceptional designs still exist today. And, as expected they are much revered for their beauty and skilled craftsmanship.
Over the years the art of using mosaic decor has evolved from floors and walls to mirrors, plates, wall hangings and even signs. In this post I included some of the pieces that I covet love.
Well, I certainly hope you enjoyed the eye candy. Hopefully this post gave you a new perspective on mosaics too.
I'll catch you later, I have a date with an old table, white paint and a box of glass tiles!
