Seahorse Mosaic

This was the first mosaic I did and took only a few days to complete.


For this design I used a large piece of slate for a backing. With this one I used ceramic tiles which were smashed to get the required shape. It wasn't the easiest way, as I discovered later, but this was my first attempt.

I applied a light coloured grout which I darkened slightly with cement; this allowed the white tiles to stand out more. The blue tiles round the outside of the seahorse were applied in a way to make them appear to be radiating outwards.
