5 out of 5 starsI purchased this item just a couple of weeks before Christmas. Since it shipped from Italy I was worried it would not arrive on time, so I reached out to the seller. She was very nice and assured me it would arrive before Christmas. It arrived on the 23rd! My mom loved it, can’t wait to start assembling it with her!

What surfaces can I decorate with a mosaic?
Mosaics can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including walls, tables, mirrors, vases, frames and other flat and rough surfaces. They cannot be applied to glass or plastic surfaces.
Where is the mosaic kit produced?

I want to create a project for my house, can you create a customized project for me?

I like one of your mosaics, but I would like to make some changes, is that possible?

Are the tiles already cut or do I have to cut them myself?
Some kits include pre-cut tesserae, while others provide whole tesserae that you can cut according to your needs using the tools provided.Tiles for marble mosaic kits are cut by hand in the traditional way with a chisel and hammer.ceramic mosaic kits are supplied with 10 x 10 cm tiles that you can conveniently cut with tongs to obtain the required format for your chosen design. glass mosaic kits are supplied with 2 x 2 cm tiles that you can conveniently cut with tongs to obtain the required format for your chosen design.
Can I put the completed mosaic outside?
Yes, of courseCompleted mosaics can be applied inside and outside a room, they withstand both high temperatures and harsh winters well. The difference is the support, if the work was applied on a wooden board your mosaic must necessarily be applied indoors.
What is the difference between direct and indirect techniques?
Both are modern composition techniquesDirect technique: This technique is particularly useful for three-dimensional designs and for curved or irregular surfaces. In the direct technique, the mosaic tiles are applied directly onto the final surface, which can be a wall, a board, or any other base. This technique allows the final result to be seen immediately and changes to be made during the process.Indirect Technique: This technique is particularly useful for table and flooring projects where the surface must be completely flat. In the indirect technique, the tiles are first temporarily glued upside down onto a temporary surface, such as paper or fabric. Once the design is complete, the entire mosaic is transferred to the final surface u
