Decorative art form: Pebble Mosaics

by Patti Boker Elkon on January 21, 2010

From great palaces to the most modest hovel, Pebble Mosaics are a way to add creative flair to any floor indoor or out.  Mostly used as decorative garden pathways, this art has graced outdoor spaces for centuries. 

Garden Pathway

mosaic_pebble_jillI first saw pebble mosaics on a visit to Italy in one of the historic homes a top a cliff in Ravello, but you don’t have to board a plane to enjoy this art.  There are many companies and artists that are crafting in this style today.  Making pebble mosaics is an art that can be learned at a minimal cost, especially if you collect the stones yourself.  This may be your next DIY come Spring…
