How much for the first sheet?  How much will someone pay?  How much do custom mosaics cost?  How much do the raw materials cost?  How long will it take to assemble one?

Who can I work with to sell custom mosaics?  Can I sell through an existing company?  Can I set up a big LCD wall so people can get anm idea of how the fina product will look?

Can I hire people to assemble the first sheets before the machine is ready?

Get the wall working with a program. The program will release 20 tiles at a time. The worker will place the tiles then get another tile.  The tile mat will need x, y coordinated for each spot. The the worker questions what should go in a spot they can check the computer.
