Description
Nouveau Geo M Original Mosaic Wall Art Size: 12 x 23 x 1 Weight: 14 lbs House of Whispering Firs is proud to offer this original mosaic titled Nouveau Geo M by Kathy Thompson Newberg, Oregon. artist. Kathy's mosaics are not only beautifully designed & crafted; but, unusual in the fact that she actually makes all the tiles from scratch. After drawing her design & making a pattern, she hand cuts rolled out clay conforming to the pattern.. Each piece is laid out & numbered to aid in the final assembly. After the clay pieces dry, they go through a kiln bisque firing. They are then individually painted with glaze & fired again to vitrify (make glass like). Now, the tiles are ready to be incorporated into mosaic art. Kathy uses cement board as the base for most of her flat pieces. It's strong, weather resistant & extremely durable. After the cement board is cut to size, hooks or hanging devices are installed. Now, the real fun begins! Each tile is hand placed & adhered to the board. When the adhesive is dried, the project is grouted & sealed. The edges of these mosaics are all finished, glazed tiles, with no exposed edges. Because of all the steps involved, each project takes several weeks from beginning to end to complete. Nouveau Geo M is suitable to hang either vertically or horizontally. Hanging hooks on the back will accommodate either application. . All of our mosaics & tiles are suitable for outdoor use with care.
