April 2008 Newsletter

Hello

PLEASE NOTE: THE SPECIALS DESCRIBED IN THIS POST ARE NO LONGER IN EFFECT.

Well, Spring is (finally!) here, and so are we. Here’s what’s new at MosaicBoutique.com:

New Product Line
- Over the years, many of our customers have enquired about ceramic tiles. So we’re pleased to announce that we now stock a range of ceramic tiles in 36 colors. These glossy-surfaced tiles are baked at low temperature and easy to cut. Each tile measures 4.25″ x 4.25″ For interior use only.

Mosaic Art Now Magazine
-  There’s something new in the world of Mosaics : derived from the Mosaic Yearbook project, the first edition of the Mosaic Art Now annual magazine presents some of the best work from today’s mosaic artists throughout the globe.

Six prominent artists from different parts of the world selected their favorite mosaics from this year’s MosaicYearbook for inclusion in the magazine’s gallery which includes 106 full-color photographs of mosaics. 39 pages in all.

Profiles on the reviewers tell you about their journeys in mosaic art, show photographs of their own mosaics, and provide insight into the criteria they use in looking for excellence in mosaic art. A very inspiring publication, available for $14.95. See our Current Specials page for more details.

Price Reductions
- Our prices are taking a tumble: we’re now able to offer Leponnitt wheeled nippers at an improved price. We’ve dropped them from $37.00 a pair to only $32.95.

- The Bohle wheeled nippers, which used to sell for $30.00 a pair have plummeted to only $19.99, which represents a savings of over 33%!

- Even more price cuts: a discount of 33% on our wonderful Smalti tiles. Regularly priced at $24.00 a pound, these tesserae are now offered at $15.99 a pound. Again, this represents more than 33% off. A bargain, available in one-pound bags only.

Antique Mosaic
- While visiting the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts recently, we were taken aback to see an ancient mosaic in the Mediterranean Archeology collection. It is a Syrian floor covering dating from the 5th century, measuring 9′ X 11′. It can be viewed with free admission to the Bank of Montreal room in the Michael et Renata Hornstein Pavillion. See mbam.qc.ca/en.

Finally, a brief reminder that our Gift Certificates are available all year long. Why not share your love of mosaics by offering one today?
