Created with 1" vitreous glass mosaic tiles, some broken with tile nippers and some full tiles. Base is a round of MDF placed on top of a table from Pottery Barn. The design was taken from a book on mosaics and slightly modified. I think the black grout really works with these tile colors.
Hi Susan - my husband and I LOVE this table top. We want to do exactly the same design on our kitchen table. Would you mind letting us know the name of the book you used so we can print out a picture of the full design? thank you! Beth Planakis (bethplan@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteHi Beth - Thanks for your kind words about the table. The book is "Quick & Easy Mosaics" by Mariarita Macchiavelli. I just checked on Amazon and they have it there. There is an example table on page 138-139 and the pattern is on page 155. I modified the design slightly. Good luck on your project and thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning piece of art! Your mosaic side table is absolutely gorgeous, and it's clear that you put a lot of time and effort into creating it. The combination of 1" vitreous glass mosaic tiles, some broken with tile nippers and some full tiles, is really eye-catching and adds an extra dimension of texture and depth to the design.
ReplyDeleteI love how you've taken inspiration from a book on mosaics and modified the design to make it your own. It's always wonderful to see people taking creative inspiration from various sources and putting their own spin on things.
The black grout really ties everything together and provides a beautiful contrast to the colors in the tiles. It's clear that you have a great eye for design and color coordination.
Overall, your mosaic side table is a true work of art and would be a beautiful addition to any home. Well done!
