Welcome to
House of Whispering Firs
Sea Shell Accent Sphere
Handmade Mosaic Sea Shell Sphere with stand
Price:  .00
Sizes: 6" Diameter
Accessory:  Iron Stand
A variety of sea shells and sea horses cover this fun sphere and is a smidge over 6" in diameter (19 1/4" circumference) which means it has a little over 113 square inches of surface area.  This is equal to a flat mosaic measuring about 8" x 14".  Incredible isn't it?  We just don't realize how much surface area is on a round ball!
This mosaic has been created on a Styrofoam ball base and weighs under 2 lbs. It has been grouted with epoxy grout that will made it virtually maintenance free.  Also included is a custom iron stand stand.
Handcrafted in our House of Whispering Firs studio, the ceramic tiles on this sphere are made by hand from clay. Making tiles for a sphere or curved surface brings on a whole new aspect of tile making.  The wet clay is cut in the desired shapes and formed to fit the curved contours of the ball then secured to the surface to dry.  This process may take a little longer but certainly makes very special tiles to incorporate into these unique gems.
After the clay has dried, it is kiln fired (bisqued).  The tiles are then individually glazed and kiln fired again.  Finally, each piece is  adhered to the ball and permanently grouted with an epoxy (no maintenance) based grout . Each sphere may look similar, but no two are alike - each an individual piece of sculptured art.
This decorative sphere would  make a wonderful statement in any home, office or retreat.
