help with displaying mosaic!

18 years ago

So, I am supposed to bring the mosaics I displayed before at a New Years Eve party tomorrow night. My first idea was to just screw in eye screws on top but apparently the wood I used is not thick enough and split (knocked out one of tesserae and my heart almost stopped!). Anyone have any ideas on how I can modify the board to hang it? I am never using thin board again !

    You could use mirror clips.
    If you just need to display it for a night, see if you can use/borrow a floor easel.
    If you don't like the mirror clips, you could put a frame around it and your hanger would be attached to that.

    I went with the easel! I really need to be a better photographer , friends said they looked so much different in person :D Actually, sold my first mosaic without trying. I just wanted to show them off to my friends but one of them HAD to have it and gave me a lot more than I ever would have thought for asking for it and was insistent it was worth that much ( I tried to underbid him lol). So very cool!

    Thanks for the advice!! Going to put my other in a frame / mirror clip set up as I could never want to sell it, just means to much to me but want it on my wall hehe.

    Yipppieeeee Jeff!! so glad your party and showing went well for you!!!

    I understand the feelings about just wanting to keep a piece we have worked on and put our heart and soul into.

    I am still a bit blown away from selling it. I have sold Jewelry before but never something I put so much into and felt so close to, kinda wierd. I did not mean for it to be a show, just something to have pretty things around. I am a terrible sales person lol.

    Here was the one that sold, he is redoing a bathroom and going to make that a center piece for it with the other tile.

    That's a beautiful piece of work - I can see why it was hard for you to part with it! Kudos!!

    Congrats, Jeff, on the sale! I think you are on the something, have more parties with your mosaics displayed - might be an easy way to make sales.

    WEll I already commented but will say again how much I LOVED this piece. No wonder the person that bought it was thrilled to have it. What a WONDERFUL piece to put in a bathroom to wake up to.

    Again Congratulations!!

    That is BEAUTIFUL! What great work you do! I hope it displays well in his bathroom! Me, I'd have it front and center in my living room with spot lights and behind red velvet ropes! Great job!!
