this is educational video which is showing the end-to-end process on mosaic
art projects for people who want to make a good living by creating custom made
mosaic art project for clients so no fancy edits just experience. we'll come to the
first video of the mosaic art project review. and this is a the first project
that I want to show and talk about the important details that we have to care
about during this kind of mosaic Commission. I will try to make 100
projects a review of 100 mosaic projects if I will have enough time to show. but
for today we will start with the project call it Alona village mosaic tile art
project. made in 2005. so on this videos we will talk about and also on today's
video about this particular project. we will talk about the location the design
and the marketing steps for this kind of a mosaic project. it's about how to how
I've got this commission and what I did to get it. and then the workshop process.
in the workshop process we will talk about the material used create this
mosaic project. the studio where I have created this mosaic project and the
tools to create this kind of for work. and then we will talk about the
construction area and the installing process. then there this folder we will
take a look at the installation process of this of this work and then we will
talk about and look at the final view of the mosaic project. this folder is kind
of important. we will talk about I mean this is about, mistakes made on this
mosaic project. those like mistakes during the workshop and mistakes during
the installation. and then we will have managing the finance the financing and
the balance. which is also important if you are
planning to make our mosaic art Commission and to earn money to create a
living by doing mosaic artworks and mosaic projects. so let's start so I want
to start with the final view first. which I should show you at the last. but the
installing the final look. ok this is how it looks like it's the project made on
2005 I believe and I have only one shot of the work unfortunately. we have a nice
Jacuzzi here and this is a handmade ceramic tile mosaic stuff. so this is the
only photo that I have unfortunately. because at that time you know we didn't
have this intelligence smartphones and stuff. so whatever I wasn't aware of how
important it was to make footages and videos I even don't have any videos. so
this is the final look and let's see how it came how it comes to this point. the
location, it was in Cyprus. why I want to talk about the location? cuz in different
countries there are different type of tools and materials and you know the
financing stuff is can be different may be. different glueing materials and grout
stuff. that's why I want to mention that the project was at Cyprus Island. and
this is the only photo that I have of that house. you can see it's written in
Greek. so it was a very old town house. how you call? that it was a great house.
it was as you see very historical and stuff and it was a very old house by the
way. that's me over there. and the location. yeah. and so by the way
it was at the south side at Cyprus which is in European Union right now. so
the design. we talk about the design first. this is it simple drawing that
I've made for the client. and he just gave me the opportunity to make my own
design which is great actually. normally clients have some ideas and
they came up with which is not already possible to to turn to a mosaic work.
But this time this client he gave me the opportunity which was great. so it was a
modern bathroom they told me. And you know that I thought that I was coming
from Germany. so he just let me create some fine lines in here. I want to have
this I was planning to have it to you it's really view some kind of simple 3d
view. like you know. and I want to stop in here and start in there and also here a
few mosaic borders. also here on this side. and I also written the sizes. that's
25 millimeters by 25 each tile. and this I said I'm gonna use 15 millimeter by 15
millimeter tiles. how I get to these numbers because I was able to cut them. I
wasn't able to cut ten by ten millimeter tiles for example which I wrote tiny. so
this is how I calculate the tiles according to my.. this is a white word?
according? you know the tools that I have was able to create to cut this type of
mosaics in size. so everything I calculate how many lines I will need to
get this view. and I sign it and I give it to him. and
he he likes that and he agree. and this is how I started. so design is kind of
important! to tell your client what it will look like. almost doesn't mean it
looks like that the same. but uh it's important to give him a vision because
he will pay and he don't know what he is up to. so it's kind of important. this
kind of a scratch. How u call that? a simple design made freehand and stuff is
important. this was the final view. let's get into the marketing steps for this
kind of a mosaic project. marketing steps for this project. before I dive into this.
I want to just make a quick talk about how does it work out for me.
so this guy was actually just a guy a owner of an accountant company.
and we just went there to open up is to establish a company in the south side of
Cyprus which was in European Union. which is still in the European Union.
and so he came up like he asked me what kind of business you're gonna do? and we
said well I'm mosaic artist and I want to do this and that. so he went like oh
hold on I'm I haven't I have a construction house so. he was interested
in the same minute. and he start to show up his project on paper you know this
plant paper and stuff. and then we talked about where we can apply the mosaics and
what we can do. and this is how it starts actually. there was no extra marketing or
advertising nothing. it just came naturally. so there was no extra method
used to get this kind of a project. for this project.
I'm talking right now. it's not always like that most of the time you have to
make advertisement and stuff. and we talked about this later on. so I did some
extra things. what I'm trying to say is, it's not enough when a when the client
just came naturally to you. and something has builded up commission just naturally.
I thought, I had to make some extra things to satisfy the client. to make,
create different. and I thought it was not enough just to show him the design.
and also so why don't you make just a sample of it. you know. the piece how it
will look like as a mosaic. so I just created this with different kind of
colors. so this are the five fifteen by fifteen millimeter tiles in four lines.
as you see they just you know they fit correctly. and I also made a smaller
piece, you know. I came up with the idea that maybe this smaller size will look
better than the huge one. and I also put here it was the company Delphina designs
that we have stablished over there. and I put this Roman guy was our you know
company icon. and service group project and design was another company that we
own it at that time. and here's a project name and mr. M.Avr. I don't
see any problems to pronounce his name he's a great guy he's super guy.
he's great guy really. and it was more easier to him at that time to decide
when he see the the correct Tile in front of his eyes.
it's different than the drawing. you know. and so he decided to use this piece over
here. not the smaller tiles. he likes the bigger one. and so this is
something that you can do it's like a storyboard in a movie. okay.
the the man on the camera behind the camera or the woman definitely know what
kind of scene to shot when she or he sees any the storyboard. and this is the
same for me to me. like when you show him you in the work in real sizes and in
real dimensions he definitely know how it will look like. why this is important?
it is important because if we have for example another idea in his head, okay?
are you with me? if he was not able to see this and he was dreaming of
something else because he don't know how it would look like at the end. then you
can have problems to get your balance. you know the financing stuff. you can
have troubles over there cause he will come up like, this is not something that
I want! I didn't imagine that it will look like this. so to solve this kind of
a problems future problems: make a simple piece. it wasn't even necessary to make
the whole thing. it was even enough to make a piece like you know from here to
here or just a piece like that to give him an idea which is important. it's that
kind of inner marketing. you already have almost a project. you know. the Commission.
but it is good to give some support to your to your client even if you know
that you have the Commission already. and I also have to say that he really
liked it. it's simple as that. it's more information you gave to the client then
you feel more comfortable to spend his money on. you can support artists if you
think this video was helpful for you. you can do this by buying goods designed by
the artist. thank you.
