Using Sea Glass Mosaics to Decorate your Home
When choosing to decorate your home and mosaic tiles is the topic of discussion sea glass mosaics are often sought out. The main reason for this is because of the unique features this type of mosaic offers. The biggest and most appealing being that every piece of sea glass mosaic is unique and different. Not one single piece of sea glass is identical there is always a slight shade alteration or difference in size. This occurs because of how the glass is formed either naturally by being washed away at sea shores, each sea wave washing away at glass giving it a unique color, texture and shape. Alternatively this process can be faked with today’s advanced technology using a tumble machine although to achive the best results it is recommended to get naturally formed sea glass mosaics. If you opt to go through the process of making the sea glass your self keep in mind not to overfill your tumble machine as this can break your machine, fill it to no more than 2/3 full and for best results don’t mix glass, tiles and ceramic. Take your time and do them one at a time.
To use the sea glass for decoration remember the mosaics will consit of green, teal or aqua colors so you might want to paint the area you are renovating with colors that match or contrast your new mosaics. Also as explained earlier each piece is unique so for the most part you wont be able to design patterns as you normally could with other glass mosaic styles. However you do achieve a unique overall result with the satisfaction of knowing no one else can possibly have the same design even if they tried.
In order to achieve the best results when working with sea glass and for the most part any type of mosaics it is recommended to first draw out a draft of what your end result should be. Even if it’s not a perfect drawing atleast to get a visual idea and this way you might spot any details that may not look good in the finished project. Remember it’s always easier to change things on a piece of paper rather than to go and change mosaics or tiles. As when buying any type of tile or mosaic online make sure it gets shipped with the highest of care as they are really fragile and prone to breaking easily.
Taking on a big project like renovating an entire room in your home such as your kitchen with sea glass mosaics might seem intimidating at first. But with some planning and knowledge of the mosaic type it can turn into a fun project with a one of a kind result.
