Was it poor design to use small mosaic stone for countertops?

I do put in new countertops, and can only afford to ceramic tiles. However, I happen to have a lot of small stone mosaic (ivory cream 5 / 8 "squares) that was going to use in another project. The countertops are usually made with square 4" x 4 "or larger. Is it strange? Too clean grout? Has anyone done this before? Stone seems better than ceramic, but being so small, I'm thinking it might be a good idea, design intelligent and resale wise. Your thoughts? The mosaic is in a mesh of very good quality.

The biggest problems I see with using as small pieces to cover a countertop would be the amount of injection would work and the fact that small boxes have a much greater tendency to appear then mosaics Larger do. With 5 / 8 "tile adhesive will have very little holding of each tile to the countertop, so much of its structural strength the grout will really stick the tiles together. Scenario tile also has a bit more time and patience that large porcelain or ceramic (4 "x 4 "or larger). I assume, of course, that these tiles are no longer on the supporters of the mesh. If this is the case, it would be fairly easy to install and backed will mesh more structural integrity by holding the pictures together, so even if a tile is coming loose from the adhesive, the tiles that surround help keep it in place. Another point must be considered is the closing, like a stone countertop will be sealed (the tile itself, not just the lines milk), while the ceramic or porcelain tiles do not require sealing. Aesthetically, I do not see why a mosaic composed counter would be less desirable composed of one or more chips. As with any decision of home improvement is largely about personal taste. It would not be as strong structurally, but otherwise it is basically an aesthetic choice.

I want to decorate small mosaics - Tips / ideas needed?

I want to decorate the little colored mosaic tiles, adding patterns with metallic paint / white ceramic. Is there fine line of pens ceramic? What brands are good? I've heard some paintings are watery, you need more than 1 layer and take ages to dry. I want quick and permanent. Aid Please! Thanks inerested would also whether there is a ceramic paint that could be used to make fingerprints on the tiles. It would also be inerested whether there is a ceramic paint that could be used to make the fingerprints on the paintings.

The paintings must be baked onto the tiles. Anything that applies flake off over time. If that bothers you, use any acrylic ..
