Yulia Hanansen Mosaic Sphere Studio: mosaics in Ann Arbor, MI

Mosaics Gallery: Portraits

Mosaic Portraits are our high end quality mosaics. They are most complicated pieces to make, as they require knowledge of human anatomy, color and tone matching, and handling of glass media.

Glass tiles, stained glass or smalti, are usually 1/4" and smaller in size. 1/8" and smaller pieces are used for hair and other face details. Various techniques are used for laying out the portraits. Depending on the image, either direct or double reversed methods are used.

Portraits of people and other living/growing things can be commissioned from Mosaic Sphere. Please call (734) 769-8478 or e-mail at: yhanansen@mosaicsphere.com. Please, allow 6-14 weeks for completion of the projects. Completion time depends on the size of the project, its complexity and availability of necessary materials and studio time. We ship mosaics throughout the USA and to other countries.
