In my professional opinion, first off mosaics are popular because of the amount of detail involved in creating them, its a very meticulous type of work. Even the word mosaic means patient work of the muses. The sky is the limit when it comes to design and detail. Materials used can range from natural materials such as stones and marble to glass and other small objects.
