MOSAIC BATHTUB
Mosaic tile bathtub design process as follows, client request a mosaic tile mural for his custom built 8 sided bathtub, a marine life visual theme is the consideration, I viewed the space and then interpreted this concept by stepping out of thought for a week or so, a full size charcoal drawing followed some visual research of shapes, color considerations were made, and now on to the build.
Mosaic bathtub bottom, octogon shape approx 6' x 6' assembled in studio.
Surface area to be installed coated with marine 2 part epoxy, bottom cut into 10 sections and puzzled into place, adjustment of singular tiles seen here.
NOW the hard part, the tiles are grouted with a sand grout ( marine epoxy base ) very messy - lots of rubber gloves - lots of cleanup with acetone ( no gloves ) gloves will melt, open window ventilation and take all the time needed . . . CANNOT be rushed, and when finished............happy client . . . . happy artists.
Mosaic octogon bathtub complete, approx 53 sq.ft., 8 weeks to build on table, 1 week to install, 17,000 tiles. My client was beyond happy with the finished mosaic tile tub . . . . so was I.
Try this project if you have a lot of time to dedicate with love !
