Tedooo draws it in mosaic in about a minute; we set the one you approve, and you get it in two weeks. Made to order from your photo: Custom Mosaic Portrait. ## Our mosaic URL: https://www.teseramosaic.com/about One studio in the USA. How a portrait is cut, set and grouted, and where to hold one in person. Smalti is glass melted with metal oxides and poured into slabs; we cut it with a hammer and hardie so each face is fresh and catches the light. The ceramic is fired and glazed by a potter two streets away. Set into lime mortar the way the basilicas were, on a sealed birch panel that will not warp. Sold through Tedooo Every Tesera mosaic is ordered and paid for on Tedooo. Tedooo takes the payment, tracks the parcel and runs the preview that draws your photo in tesserae before we cut a single one. We set the stone; the rails are theirs. The mosaic portrait listing on Tedooo shows the sizes side by side with the glass, resin and 3D studios, if you are still deciding what the photo should become. In person: Santa Fe, Austin, Brooklyn. ## Shipping, returns and care URL: https://www.teseramosaic.com/about Size & materials: Panel: 30 × 30 or 50 × 50 cm; Tesserae: Glass smalti and glazed ceramic, 8–14 mm; Substrate: 12 mm birch, sealed; Hanger: Keyhole, fixings included Shipping: Cut and packed in our US studio. Every panel is made within two weeks, then posted. Double-walled crate, foam corners, tracked. Before you buy: Made for one person, so it is not returnable. Ask us anything before you buy and we will answer properly, usually the same day. The approved design is what we set. Hanging & care: Hang on a single screw through the keyhole. Dust with a dry cloth; never soak the grout. Direct sun is fine; it is glass and clay. ## Questions What makes a good photo to upload?: One subject, roughly facing the camera, with their eyes visible. Daylight helps. It does not need to be sharp; most of what we work from is a phone photo of a dog on a sofa. What we cannot work from is a subject facing away, or three dogs at once in one panel. Is it printed or is it mosaic?: Mosaic. Glass smalti and glazed ceramic, cut and set by hand, then grouted. There is no print, no resin and no vinyl anywhere in it, which is why it weighs what it weighs. When do I pay?: At the end, once you have approved a design. Designing is free, you can run it as many times as you like, and there is no account to make first. You check out through Tedooo. Because the piece is then made for you, it is not returnable, which is exactly why the approving happens first. ## Policies Shipping & delivery — https://www.teseramosaic.com/about#shipping Returns & made-to-order — https://www.teseramosaic.com/about#returns Hanging & care — https://www.teseramosaic.com/about#care Track your order — https://www.tedooo.com/track-order Privacy — https://www.tedooo.com/privacy Terms — https://www.tedooo.com/terms Accessibility — https://www.tedooo.com/help
