Floating Glass Art Koi for Water Gardens

Description

These floating mosaics are my own creation, a one of a kind, unique element for your
~ water garden
~ pond ~ birdbath
~ in a bowl of water, flowers & candles for a floating tabletop centerpiece
~ or simply to display somewhere outdoors in a flower bed
~ use as durable decor in your outdoor garden room,
~ or indoors as home decor.

This mosaic koi is made from stained glass pieces of
Red/orange textured stained glass with eyes and fins of black stained glass
This koi measures 7 -1/2 inches long

Each mosaic is individually designed & created by myself. I spent many years perfecting it & had a lot of fun along the way. I've had mine floating in my pond for many years now. They are sure to add a splash of color & some fun to your water garden.
They are totally made for water & the outdoors in mild weather conditions. It does not absorb water, are mold & mildew resistant & will not harm the aquatic life. I take mine in for the freezing winter months here in New York, as I do for everything, for the cold can be brutal. They are very durable, but they will not survive in freezing water.
A natural occurrence happens to anything that is placed and left in water, algae will attach & grow.
They will need to be cleaned of debris build up on the sides and bottom of the base that are exposed to the water. It is easily removed with a toothbrush and water or steel wool. Algae will eventually take over the sides of the mosaic, eliminating the grout & become green colored with the growing algae. The koi in my pond often feed off of this.
This can be refreshed by rubbing grout back onto the sides, and let dry.
Thank you for the interest in my art
