I have previously written about the difference between mosaic and micromosaic jewellery. Recently I found an example of each at a local fleamarket, which is very unusual.
Here is the mosaic, made more crudely of larger tesserae (tiles). I bought this one ($0.50) because it matched my other mosaic items.
And here is the micromosaic, made of tiny tesserae and resembling a painting. It was beautiful but I didn’t even ask how much it was.
Below is a photo and description of how micromosaic is created.
If you are interested, here is a brilliant article from an amazing website, also the source of the above photograph and description.
Hello🙂. The articel does not show the photo of the mosaic you bought. I am curious.😃
Thank you for this Magdolna. I had no idea the photo was not showing. I have put it in now. It is a small rectangular photo frame that matches an oval one that belonged to my grandmother.
