EXPLANATION OF PRICING:
If you are wondering "just why is this piece so expensive?", here's my story:
The substrates (violins, tables, trays, sets) are not something I purchased at a store. They are actually vintage and not cheap. I purchase the primer and paint, the fine bone china plates, the stained glass, the gems, the mirror, the grout, the glue and the sealer.
I hand cut each piece of fine Bone china plate, stained glass and mirror. I did not break it by stomping on it or hitting it with a hammer. I use special nippers and glass cutters for cutting the bone china/glass into precise small pieces.
I hand place and glue each piece into place. In some cases, I have to re-cut and trim to fit the pieces. Although it may look like these pieces are randomly placed, they are not.
After all the cutting and gluing is done (about 3 to 4 weeks), I hand mixed the grout and apply it to the substrate. When it has cured a bit, I wipe the excess off with a wet sponge. This process usually takes a while and is very messy. Once done, I allow the piece to dry completely. Sometimes I have more then one site and have to do this process over again. When everything is dry, I buff the grout "film" off of the china/glass so it would sparkle.
When the grouting is complete, the piece is sealed which takes an additional 72 hours. Then I glue the additional pretties and baubles on there. In all, I probably spent 76 hours on this mosaic Teapot Service.
