| Here are two excellent examples of mosaic pictures. These take careful planning and a lot of time and are generally commissioned. |  |
 | The tiles that are used in these projects are called Smalti tiles, which are small, thick, rectangular chunks of handmade italian glass. These can be found on eBay or on several internet mosaic sites. They can also be made with silver and gold leaf to lend extra sparkle to your mosaics. Thanks to CMallie for sharing her work. |
