Below is the process in pictures of how I made Jane's mosaic doorstep.

| The approved design |
 |
| Starting to prepare the tiles |
 |
| Always helps to have some ready! |
 |
| And so to start .. |
 |
| ... making good progress! |
 |
| The border is done. |
 |
| The name and logo were tricky. |
 |
| And now to the scalloped background |
 |
| The snipping and sticking is finished! |
 |
| Grouting and sealing are done - now ready for delivery! |
It's been a busy few months in my studio - it's great to have lots of enquiries coming in for all sort os different projects - never a dull moment!
In the autumn, Jane Taylor, a well known London milliner who makes hats for members of the royal family among many others - www.janetaylorlondon.com - got in touch about making her a bespoke mosaic doorstep for her Knightsbridge atelier.
As happens with these kind of commissions, we exchanged a number of emails about price, size and design and came to an agreement that we were both happy with.
I started making it in the new year as you can see above - below is the final mosaics installed - a doorstep and an original work of art!
It is lovely to think that (hopefully) it will be there for many years to come.
Do take a look at my website if you are interested in my original mosaic art - www.felicityballmosaics.com
Many thanks,
