Mosaics are one of the oldest forms of art and one that has been a favoured way to decorate spaces for the past few thousand years. In many ways, creating mosaics was one of the most ecologically friendly of all art types as the original act of making a mosaic would have been done by using discarded items and merely arranging them in an artistically pleasing way.
Today, mosaics seem to be making a comeback, primarily due to the fact that they are so versatile, and since any mosaic can be made up of as few or as many mosaic craft tiles as you like, it is easy to populate a space of any size with very unique and very attractive designs.
Not only are people now creating mosaics in the home, but even in the garden and there is something uniquely satisfying about being able to create something very vast out of things that are so small, and many people use this figuratively in the art they create. Being an important part of something larger and infinitely more beautiful is a powerful message and being able to be in charge of the end result to such a great degree is also extremely rewarding for those creating a mosaic.
Today, it is not merely floors or walls that are decorated with craft mosaic tiles, but almost any part of a house or even garden can be improved with the right design. Whether they are used on ceilings or as a very functional and appealing backsplash, there is something very important about being able to create something that is at once practical and indeed very attractive and mosaics offer far more freedom in terms of size, allowing far more areas to be decorated in an affective way than almost any other means would allow.
