UNDER SEA FIREPLACE MOSAIC
Click an image to enlarge 
In December 2013 my landlord gave me permission to demolish the lava from my fireplace and create whatever I wanted. I rented a demolition hammer (hand held jack hammer) and removed the lava. What a chore! It has taken me 19 months and approximately 1000 hours to create this piece!
Throughout my apartment I have black and gray tile on the floor. Because I did not have any matching tile to place on the floor in front of the fireplace I purchased a solid piece of black granite. I also painted the firebox with a metallic copper high heat spray paint. It picks up the copper glass that is within the dark blue waves. Finally, I made the mantle myself.
