Mosaics Boxed Niche

At present, there are two known techniques used by mosaic artists the direct and indirect method. But did you know that there is also the so called Byzantine technique? This technique was used centuries ago by mosaic artists.

Even if the Byzantine Empire no longer exists, you can still make use of the technique to create any mosaic project. Here's how you can do it:

First, you need to think of a mosaic design, pattern, or image that you want to create. After that, get a wood which is about three centimeters bigger than the mosaic's size. Now, you need to cut four battens and you need to screw them in place at the wood's edges. Fill it with black clay and wet it with water.
