Mosaic
Mirror - - The technique of mosaic was already being
used in ancient history. It is simply the assembly of pieces such as
glass, marble, ceramic, porcellan, stones, etc... to produce a new
pattern on objects such as wall murals, buildings, artworks, and much
more. Today the technique is still being used. Especially in the
Mediterannean areas of southern Europe and in the Middle East, you
can see wonderful examples of this craft technique. It is so easy to
learn and every day objects such as wood, vases, glass, pottery,
etc... can be altered into treasures that will be cherished for a
long time. Glass nuggets are uncomplicated to use for projects such
as the one above but you can create designs and pictures using broken
pieces of pottery and tile just as well.
