Mosaic Design: The “New” Art Deco

Mosaic Design in Santa Monica

It seems that a fun trend is happening right under my nose! I am seeing “mosaic design” everywhere…

I am always looking for new creative outlets and things that catch my eye, but when I spotted an article about this couple in Venice that “mosaic-ed” their whole house, inside and out, it piqued my attention.

You can see their Mosaic House here at their website, it’s too funny! There is also a couple in Santa Monica that also specializes in mosaic products for people as well. Their stuff looks great. You can find their site here.

So, I set out to see if this is a just California thing right now or is it in other parts of the country as well?

Ok, it’s everywhere… I found this article just posted today about a guy in Philly. Here’s the link:

Art on a big scale, to transform a neighborhood

Then, I found this very cool history site about “mosaic design” which I thought was great and wated to share it with you!

The Ancient Art of Mosaic Design

And for those people on your gift list that are so hard to buy for, maybe this will do the trick… Mosaic Mailboxes! I laughed out loud.

Custom Mailboxes Special Order

Anyway, I thought it was a fun and interesting observation and yet another cool thing happening on the Westside.

Enjoy your weekend,

Tracey

  1. Mosaics look like they can be a lot of work! Sort of like stained glass. But it can be fun too, I suppose.
