I used to install mosaic (and water-jet-cut) art in tile installations quite often. I'd even class creating your own mosaic border out of strips of mosaic and your own pencil strips above and below it (or to the left and right of it if you're doing a vertical mosaic border for the more modern types of bathrooms even) as mosaic art in some sense as it's custom, and it's certain not for the faint hearted. As easy as it sounds, it's very easy to get it wrong.

I've never done mosaic art in the sense of adding a fish out of manually cut mosaics to a wall though to be fair. So perhaps if I were still tiling I'd be showing examples of what other mosaic artists can do and then getting the customer a custom quote type thing.

Though the water jet cut stuff is good too. Done quite a bit of that. And sold loads of it before I even tiled with it. That's something that's repetitive though, you could end up with many customers having the same compass as you in their entrance hall for example, that was a really common jet-cut feature. Loads liked and bought it. All very nice houses and projects too I'm sure.

the more mosaics the better I say :). Count me in Gisella

Great, Sharon, to have you install my mosaics would be fantastic! :thumbsup: I've had a few interesting enquiries this weekend, goes to show that things are picking up again, and to have all the potential installers' details on my website makes a lot of sense. Still need a couple of website addresses, but thank you to those who have sent me emails, brilliant. Will get round to updating the links page accordingly asap. :)
