Evening good ceramics members!
So my wife and I are in the process of purchasing our first house and it’s got a very interesting situation. Upon entering the house, the first thing you see is a TREE!
Yes, you read that correctly, there’s a tree planted inside the house. (See attached pictures)
Unfortunately one of the requirements of our mortgage company is going to necessitate the removal of the tree and the filling in of the foundation where it is.
This is where I need help. My wife and I are planning on tiling in the spot, but want to leave a momento to this amazing plant that has likely been in the house for decades. So we want to have either a large painted, or mosaic tree of life in the center of the flooring where the tree was planted.
Looking at a 30/39in mosaic tree tile on Amazon was $900, which is well and away out of our budget. So we’re looking for other options to make this memorial piece.
If anyone has any advice, or could help teach me how to create a tile or mosaic like that, I would be eternally grateful.
I thank you all in advance for your suggestions!
