Peace on Earth – and In Your Pool

Perhaps the most serene of the pool mosaics is the sand dollar. Being in the presence of nature’s artwork is mesmerizing.

The sand dollar makes its way along the ocean floor, so if you keep things authentic, the best place to incorporate your pool mosaic is at the bottom of the pool.

Shell collectors spend hours looking for these little urchins, and like other sea animals, it is illegal to remove a sand dollar from its natural habitat. Since a live sand dollar is purple, it’s best to enjoy one of these beautiful, mysterious creatures after it turns white.

If you’ve accidentally broken a sand dollar, then you’ve most likely seen the five doves. Even the most seasoned fisherman is fascinated at the sight of the doves, which are technically teeth, for chewing. Folklore has it that the doves are Christian symbolism, representing goodwill and peace released into the world.

For those who love the water, the sand dollar mosaic is a fantastic choice! Because of their ability to lift our spirits, mosaics are perfect for your pool, and sand dollars add the best of spiritual visual effects.

Happily, your mosaic is not just glorious in your pool. There are several ways to appreciate sand dollars around your home to give you, your family, and your friends a taste of the sea.

Stepping Stones

According to Merriam Webster, a stepping stone signifies progress. The purpose is to advance you from one point to the next. Interestingly, stepping stones in their round form resemble sand dollars. Many believe that the star design represents the star of Bethlehem that guided the footsteps of the three wise men.

So should you cover your stepping stones with sand dollar mosaics? If you believe in peace, goodwill, and harmony, then what better way to signify your love of humanity?

Birdbath

Why should our feathered friends be left out of all the fun? Seagulls and pelicans aren’t the only ones who soar above the water.

You don’t have to live by the sea to appreciate how birds love playing in the water. Why not feed the birds the same happiness you want for yourself? Sand dollar designs scream “the beach.”

Serving Tray

There’s a reason humans gravitate to the underwater world. It’s nearly impossible to find solitude anywhere with the noise that inundates every part of our lives: cars, sirens, horns honking, semi-trucks, radio, television, phones. Unfortunately, you can’t avoid the noise pollution of the day and sometimes even the night, depending on whether or not your neighbor has a barking dog.

Is it any wonder then that there’s little that calls to us like the shore? Dive under the water in your backyard pool and listen: what do you hear? You might hear the distant echo of someone talking, but there’s just you and the silence.

So what’s the connection to serving trays? If you think of tea or breakfast in bed, then the words “serenity” and “pampering” come to mind. If you think of decompressing, taking time to regroup, and relaxation, then you can enjoy time for yourself.

Considering the serenity of the sand dollar and the moment in our day when we slow down and breathe and put the pieces back together, then why not decorate a tray with sand dollar mosaics? Nothing could be more apropos. Blue Water Pool Mosaics has designs ranging from 2 to 6 inches in several colors, offering plenty of options.

Try lining a tray with a few, or go more realistic by putting a cluster in the middle, which is how these docile creatures live.

Table

Table mosaics are nothing new; they have been around for years. One table option is a shadow box that comes in several sizes and wood finishings. Imagine a coffee table with sand and a collection of shells and sand dollars from your vacation.

Mosaic tables tend to be smaller and more decorative, used for holding beverages and reading materials. One nice feature of mosaics is that they won’t stain if they get wet, so you won’t have to worry about them. Just wipe the table and be done.

If you’ve felt the urge to walk the beach in search of sand dollars, there’s no better way to bring the beach to your backyard. Your pool will look like the ocean with a few simple steps. Add them to steps and borders, use them as markers, and let your sense of serenity take over.
