Answer - Yes, but only a limited number. This is not my day job.
How much does a custom mosaic cost?
Answer - It depends. Each mosaic is different and varies in size and complexity. The biggest cost driver is the number of artist hours required for cutting and gluing. I am happy to provide quotes. As a general guideline though, here is an example of what a 2' x 1' mosaic of medium complexity might cost.
Fixed Costs
Lumber - $7.00
Mosaic Tile - 2.5 lbs @ $11/lb = $27.50
Shop Supplies (stain, glue, rags, sand paper, grout) = $3.50
Wall Hanging Hardware (wire, hooks, screws) = $3.00
Packaging (box, bubble wrap) = $6.00
UPS Ground Shipping - 9lb = $20.00
----------------------------------------
Total Fixed Costs = $67.00
Artist Hours
Prepare Frame - 4 hours (purchase, cut, glue, sand, and stain lumber)
Rough Sketch Design - 1 hour
Grid Drawing - 1 hour
Transfer Drawing to Frame - 1 hour
Cut and Glue Tiles - 10 hours
Grout - 1 hour
Finishing (Touch up, Install wall hanging hardware) - 1 hour
Packaging - 1 hour
Shipment - 1 hour
------------------------------------------------------------
Total Artist hours - 21 hours
Total Price = $67.00 fixed cost + 21 Artist Hours @ $15 per hour = $382.00
