FIVE WAYS TO MAKE MOSAICS | Find the mosaic method that works for you 

Very informational!! Thank you so much for this video! I'm new to mosaics (other than what we did in art class in school), but I've always wanted to give it a go. I've been watching your videos for helpful information, and you've definitely supplied it! So thanks again!

Your designs look so classic. Thanks for making these.

Firsst, let me say, you are absolutely the best teacher I have ever seen! And, I'm not a young lady and homeschooled my own children. With that being said, there is another method you haven't mentioned, undoubtedly because it's a lot of technique and hard to find the recipe for ... the Vienna method with a lime plaster base that stays malable for months. The piece is then transfered using the double reverse transfer method. I have wanted to go to Europe for years to study under one of the few artist's who teach the original Roman methods... I wish that ancient skill was still common knowledge for Mosaic Artists of today ( who don't have thousands to study the craft abroad). Thank you for teaching the methods we have today to all who want to learn the right way, we hope Mosaics will continue through people like you for millennia to come.

Love your videos!!! Thank you.

Very easy to learn from this expert, explained well.

Thank you!!! Your video was very helpful for this newbee who (I think) has gotten herself in a jam trying to cut already tiny pieces of glass for a small first project.

Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the various methods to construct mosaics! I'm 23 with no artistry background but I want to learn this craft and create some awesome designs for friends and family. Subscribed as well. 👌

gives me an insight into Mosaics Most interesting

So with the fiberglass mesh method, you say you install it on site.. what types of installation options are there? Can you grout? Can you lay it directly in concrete?

Beautiful

Thank you and your voice is very attractive

Please madam , accept my heartiest appreciations for delivering remarkable knowledge and skills although its a tiny thing to say that in front of you. Please keep it up for the sake of mosaics lovers. Salute you madam.

I know absolutely nothing about making a mosaic but I have all kinds of marble tiles pieces. A lot of them are the result of marble cutters practicing various shapes, curls, etc. Several different types and colors but all some kind of stone, including quite a bit of lapis lazuli. So I really want to attempt my first mosaic. I'm betting with the weight of the tile pieces that I'm going to want a pretty strong adhesive.... but I'll be flying by the seat of pants on this so everyone wish my luck!

Классно! Super.

❤❤❤

Pity you didn't show a sample of each,,, fascinating thank you 🙏

Love your voice ❤

Thank you so much for these wonderful videos! I'm wanting to know if I can use the paper method to tile a mosaic around my bathtub. We purchased ceramic tiles, chopped them up into bit, and plan to create a mosaic with them. It seems that I would have the easiest time making my mosaic on paper and then pressing it onto the wall around the bathtub. Especially because I would prefer a flat surface if possible. And I was thinking of pressing the tiles-on-paper into a thinset. Am I right to do it this way, or is there a better method?

Fantastic video, thank you so much!! I have a quick question I'm hoping you might be able to help me with. I'm making a birdbath for my girlfriend and I had a photo of us pixelated into a mosaic that I'd like to put in it. Is ceramic better than glass for something exposed to the elements like this? Which technique out of these 5 do you think might be best? Any tips or suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! Can you specify which glue to use for the direct method? Very much looking forward to creating with mosaic!

I am new to mosaics and want to Mosiac my bathtub walls using primarily broken plates/ some precut glass tiles. Ambitious, I know!! 😅 What method would you suggest? I am leaning towards the first (glue directly). (I am currently working on my first project-a kit from Intessere.) I love the medium!! My grandma did extensive stained glass, so I’m hoping it runs in the family - the beauty of it all!!

What is the 5th method? I just see hands, can't picture what the half-way concrete would look like. BEAUTIFUL work, very inspiring!

Thank you for your video. I have a question. I saw a mosaic vase that was grouted with a very very rough grout. Would you have any ideas on what additive I could use?

Nice demonstration. Where is a good place to get the mosaic tiles of different color?

👍👍

Looking for pattern start. No one shows that. How to devise pattern. Start to finish.

After completing what you've done, what adhesive can be used to stick the mesh to a tiled shower wall, say, and then I'd grout it after glueing it to the (tiled) wall? Thanks.

One question. Whats the difference between the mesh that is used to make hook rugs and the mesh used for mosaics?

Where do you buy fiberglass mesh?

What kind of paper is being used when using the dlour and water ro glue it to

Can I do it to my bathtub it's and acrylic on tho??

WHAT KIND OF GLUE WORKS BEST FOR GENERAL MOSAICS.

Thank U Helen. Loving your videos. 🙏 If using the cast concrete method, and paperback method, would the concrete and adhesive fill the gaps or would I need to grout as well. ?

Which glue to use for mess method?

What kind of tiles are you using?

what glue to fix on the mesh ?

What kind of glue do you use on the netting?

is this a method you can use for smalti?

Hello Can i make mosaic from olive seads

so if you're using the two different tiles -ceramic and glass - you'd need two different nippers?

I sent you an email and can’t wait to hear back 👍🏼

Very well explained thank you. Would it be possible to expand on your tutorial by actually demonstrating each step as you do instead of simply telling us how it will work? There’s nothing like “seeing” the method to really learn. I have always wondered incidentally, how easy (or difficult more exactly!) it is to fill little corners and odd shapes here and there within a design. Your pictures show some expertly crafted end results which encourage the amateur beyond reasonable expectation I suspect. Thanks anyway.

What is this stuff used

Do not use that glue it’s better to put face mount tape on the front and then flip it over, prime it..and place the mesh on the back. Attach the mesh with a liquid membrane like hydroban, then not only is it more sturdy but it meets ntca ansi standards.

fallen asleep after 2 min from the way she speaks ....

Love your videos! Thank you.
