Stingrays & Summer Days: Get the Point? October 11 2021 Blue Water Pool Mosaics Stingrays get bad press because of their whip-like tails with venomous barbs. Although it’s ordinarily a docile creature (an article in Biography labeled the stingray as the “pussycat of the ocean”), if it feels threatened, it retaliates. Still, stingrays are beautiful sea creatures, soaring through the water with their wings outstretched like butterflies. Humans are fascinated, and for good reason: rays typically mind their own business unless stepped on, which gives meaning to the words, “Watch your step.” A wise swimmer does their homework regarding ocean etiquette, as these creatures do not like their space invaded. It’s not that you can’t enjoy the view up close, and many people pet them without fear, but there is a technique to enjoying a day at the beach and a walk in the sand. The best recourse is shuffling through the water, rather than picking up your feet, lest your foot land on one of these rays, prompting a defensive reaction. Where Else Can You Enjoy Stingray Mosaics? As alluring as they are in the ocean, there’s somewhere else you can enjoy the stingray, and that’s right in your own pool. The magic of the artist’s palette at Blue Water Pool Mosaics means that you can enjoy your stingray and walk wherever you want. No danger here; just the fun of pool decor you won’t find at your local department store. It’s always fun to know your pop of color is unique and not mass-produced as the latest fleeting trend. Our mosaics take the image and put a spin on luxury. Easy to install with our tile adhesive and shipped to you (free over $299), you’ll have your stingray displayed in no time. So where do our artists get their inspiration? The answer is, from the real deal! And when it comes to stingrays, there are over 200 known species in the world. The most popular grace our mosaic designs: Tribal Manta Ray A giant oceanic manta ray can weigh up to 3600 lbs. – considerably larger than a male cow. With around 200 species of stingrays worldwide, that’s a lot of beef! Often seen as “blankets of the sea” and sometimes served as mock scallops, the manta ray lives in warm waters in nearly every part of the world. At a whopping 60″ by 47″, our Tribal Manta Ray mosaic spreads across your pool like a calming cloak of grace and balance. Manta Ray Step Markers At 4″ by 4″, our Manta Ray Step Markers (set of 3) are perfect for good things in small spaces. Our mosaics lead the way in Baroque style for a taste of Italian water art therapy. Apply them to the tops of your tables, your birdbath, your bathroom walls around the sink, and your barstools – anywhere your space needs a flying fish. Blue Ray As tempting as it sounds, we’re not talking about the blu-ray that holds your favorite movie. Our Blue Ray Mosaic reflects the sun in a stunning deep blue that is hard to duplicate. Our artisans know that to pull off a mosaic with one color, it must be brilliant. Since it comes in several sizes, ranging from 12″ X 10″ to 43″ x 40″, you can install your mosaic wherever you want some creative color coordination. Our mosaics are easy to clean and waterproof, whether on a wall, bar, shower floor, or kitchen island. The blue ray represents sensitivity, so what better way to decorate your personal space? Spotted Eagle Ray One of the giant stingrays, this stunning fish is artistry in motion, sometimes leaping out of the water to give lucky onlookers a show. Appearing on the list of endangered species due to commercial fishing, the Spotted Eagle Ray abides at its local hangout of Bermuda – until now, that is. Spotted Eagle Ray mosaics come in several sizes so that you can install them on your walls, floors, showers, and even tabletops. How Blue Water Pool Mosaics Can Help With Stingray Mosaics Even though they are known (and feared) for their poisonous barbs, the stingray symbolizes that it is often better to walk away than to engage. Remember that point when installing your mosaics, because your pool not only represents water – a life source – but also universal replenishing. You might say that our mosaics are healing!
