At the SAMA conference in Mesa we introduced three marble mosaic kits. One of them - the Antioch Starflower - was very popular.We just got this photo from Jane O'Donnell (New Jersey) who recently completed her kit. She said: "It was truly a learning experience, as well as a study in controlling cuts! I think it came out great for my first try! I used Starretts to cut the marble (I had to unscrew them quite a lot for the thicker marble) - worked great!"
Mosaic Rocks! Marble Mosaic Kits
We just added the Starflower kit onto our website. Everything you need to complete the kit (except your nippers) is included: substrate with the design, marble tiles, instructions, a photo of the completed piece, and adhesive.
If you've never worked with marble, this is a great place to start. The tiles are easy to cut, and you'll gain an understanding and appreciation for the work that Roman mosaic artists and artisans did thousands of years ago.
The kits are suitable for beginning mosaic artists with some experience. But even advanced artists like Jane find the experience very valuable.
