Not Your Grandma's Mosaic Tile

The choices for mosaic tile have really grown in the last several years. Gone are the days when ceramic, porcelain, marble, granite and slate were all you had to choose from. Today you can select from a new variety of materials including glass, metal, seashells, wood, cork and leather in a wide array of colors, shapes and sizes. I'm particularly drawn to leather tiles because it's just so unexpected. The deep rich colors and textures are so warm and would be a sure conversation starter when used in any application. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I found it at the right price. I could see using it as an inlay on a table or perhaps framed with molding on a wall. This stuff is pricey so using it sparingly is the key. Here are a few exiting alternatives to traditional stone and ceramic tile. What applications would you use some of these exiting new products?
