Cherry Blossoms Mosaic

Here’s a delicate little mosaic I made when I was inspired by the elegance of cherry blossoms.

 
 

I made this mosaic as a feature piece for a line of tile I wanted to make. I made these tile samples with the intention of making them to be placed on backsplashes embedded within other tile.

 
 
 

I made samples with different colors of grout and tile beds to show how they would look, but the idea didn’t catch on.

I even tried making some mosaics with a poppy theme.

Some students that came to my studio saw them sitting around and suggested to just sell them as regular hanging artwork. I did that, but they still didn’t sell. Oh well, it either wasn’t a good idea or not good in execution, but people do like my cherry blossoms mosaic and so do I, so it was worth the experiment.
