Very nice work there mate.

Although how would you price something like that?

I can understand you charging a single price for your framed art, but how would you work it out incorperating it on the wall/floor. Not much to a sq mtr there....LOL

I wouldn't think the market for it would be huge, dam nice work but really cannot see the average person going for it.

good stuff - i think the most likely place a customer might want a mosaic in a domestic situtation would be a bathrrom.
You could try some with an aquatic theme - fish swimming around etc.. - you could then show it to people in your portfolio when you get bathroom work as a possible central feature.

or you could go could go down more artisic route like this fella:-

Nice work there Shaun. Seen similar at craft shows. A bigger market might be tiled football team badges and the like. Saw a tiled Ferrai badge once, funniest looking horse I've ever seen!!

thanks for you comments , i've thought about arts and craft fairs but need more pics yet , i think if i were do incoporate into a wall or floor i'd have to do day rate. the picture above took me 3 days to complete so its quite a long process . the pic above quite big too 1.5 m by just over a meter .

think i'd have to aim for the rich .......shaun
