Читать книгу Garden Mosaics - Emma Biggs - Страница 7

Mosaic can be made of any material that comes in small pieces or that can be easily broken or cut, but garden mosaics must be able to withstand both the effects of water and extreme temperatures. Outdoor mosaics must therefore be made of hard materials such as stone, glass, and ceramic, which are impervious, frost proof, and do not expand greatly when hot. These materials are all available in small sizes, which makes them easy to cut, and if properly fixed will produce durable and hard-wearing surfaces.
