Thought I'd just share this exciting bit of news...
I was really interested in the mosaic tiki pictures that were shared by alnshely and Dawn Tiki. I too wondered if I could make a picture like that. So after chasing the old companys that made those picture kits and hitting a dead end, I started to look to companies that will custom make a kit for you. I found a company and emailed them Dawn Tikis close up photo. Here is the response copied below:
Melody,
I can work up a price for the Tiki picture. There will be some
differences
between the mosaic tiles I would be using and what was used to create
the
mosaic you sent. For one the tiles I would be using are square and not
rectangular. I believe the tiles that were used to create the picture
you
have was smalti, an italian hand cut glass tile. I would use a square
glass
tile approximately 3/8 x 3/8 to make the design. If you would like I
can
work up a design using the picture you sent using the 3/8 tiles. I can
have
a preliminary design back to you by Tuesday of next week. If you like
what
you see we can proceed further with the design.
Thank you for you inquiry and make it a great day!
Sooo... how cool is that!
I hope I didn't break any rules by submitting Dawn Tikis photo. Thank-you Dawn Tiki, I really should have asked you first if you minded.Newbie excitement grabed me when I found a company that would be willing to do this.It will not look exactly like yours so you will still own something very special.
ask all your Tiki buddies maybe if we get enough interest we could get a better price?
Thanks for reading
Mel
