Mosaics are made of tiny colored pieces of stone, pottery, glass or other materials, arranged together and set in plaster or cement to make patterns and images. They can be used to decorate a floor, a wall or in some cases a ceiling.
Mosaics have a long history.
They were created in Ancient times in Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. It is a project that would take months and in some cases even many years to complete. For several centuries, interest in the making of mosaics declined. It wasn't until the 19th century, when architects started to look at old ideas for new inspirations, that the interest once again returned and mosaics began popping up in public buildings and private homes. Roast a few and paint the rest for a spectacular work of art.
