Make a Mosaic as a Keepsake!

I am a big ole softy. I cry at sad commercials, emotional greeting cards and am a sucker for a gift given from the heart. Not all keepsakes are hand-made and as much as I treasure hand-made, I also treasure store bought. I am an equal opportunity giver and taker! This however is about something hand-made that should be totally reflective of the person to whom the gift will be given. We are talking mosaic artwork.

Don’t get scared, it is not as hard and time consuming as you think. It is quite simple buy makes a huge impact, IF DONE RIGHT! It should not only reflect the person who will receive the gift but should also reflect the occasion which is a great and important tie-in for a keepsake.

So reflect on not only the” who” but the “why”. Is this a house-warming gift or for a baby shower, or it is a birthday or anniversary gift? What does this person like; what is their ascetic, color palette or favorite thing? Where do you see this piece of art hanging; Kitchen, Living room, Bedroom, Office, Baby room??? Answering these questions will help you pick the perfect image to mosaic.

Is this the right gift for you to give? Only you can answer this question. But if you want a stunning, one-of-a kind, visual piece that can stand out as truly memorable art made by hand- you can’t go wrong with a modern mosaic. It is not too time consuming and not very expensive. For a quick how-to guide, check out http://bit.ly/qsxlJx.
