In today’s video I’ll show you how to use a variety of tesserae of different thicknesses to create a level mosaic surface. We’ll talk about how to combine tesserae such as smalti, stained glass, beads, glass tile, porcelain, vitreous glass, ceramic, millefiori, glass rods, glass gems, stone, and much more into the same mosaic. It’s all about the adhesive, and a few things you need to keep in mind while tiling. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout.

I immediately thought you were going to give a "reverse mosaic" lesson. I did some gardening vases and small pieces with your method years ago, but I found it too persnickity and frustrating. These days I do a lot of reverse and double-reverse because of the type of work I do. Guess what? Now, I'd be in Heaven to just build my piece this way...lol The grass is always greener eh! 💁😃

Hi Ms. K Casey, as artists we learn one way of doing things, and as we grow and evolve with our work, we experiment and expand with our processes. With some things in mosaic, there is more than one way to accomplish a goal. Use whatever method works for you. The most important thing is that you enjoy the process of mosaic making. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌

I have a 10 inch porcelain cat my mom give me 45 years ago. It's nose and one ear is chipped so I was wanting to mosaic it. What kind of prep do I need to do and what glue would work best? Thanks for all of the great videos Julie!
@JulieWeilbacher
@JulieWeilbacher 2 года назад
Hi Patsy! Thanks for your kind words, and for watching! I would first glue the pieces back on the body. You could use Weldbond, thinset, or silicone to do that. For the actual mosaic work, you could any of the same adhesives I just listed. Because it's a curved surface, it might be easier to use thinset or silicone just so things stay put and dry faster. It'll also depend on your tesserae selection. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

I really appreciate this video, because all of my mosaics are all different heights. 😟 I have never used thinset, don’t know where to start. You mentioned Mastic, would that be better to start with? I hate to buy 25 pounds of thinset and not use it. It’s expensive for my tiny budget. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
@JulieWeilbacher
@JulieWeilbacher 2 года назад
Hi Arlene! Yes, you could start with mastic to get a feel for the process of building up the tesserae. And then move up to thinset mortar when you're ready (especially if you're on an outdoor mosaic). Here's a video on how to mix it up when you're ready: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UU0ct32CUmA.html. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

Hi Julie, thanks again for another really informative video. Question…. When using mesh I try not to use too much adhesive because when I finally adhere the piece to a wall I want the thinset between the wall surface and the tile to squeeze through the mesh to securely fasten the piece to the wall. In the video when you use so much thinset on the mesh to even out the tile heights how does this work when adhering it to your final surface? It does not look like there is an opportunity for the thinset from the wall to squeeze through to grab onto the tiles. Does this question make sense?
@JulieWeilbacher
@JulieWeilbacher 2 года назад
Hi Kim! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Yes, a wall mosaic is totally different than my little 3" x 6" mosaic from the video. And the point of the video wasn't the mesh so much as the process of building up tess. I shouldn't of used mesh in the example. What you're describing is a great way to add additional adhesion for vertical mosaics on mesh. Thanks for your comment!🙌

@biblicalgodisonlytruegod
@biblicalgodisonlytruegod 2 года назад
@@JulieWeilbacher ABSOLUTELY. I don’t know why it is never mentioned. SO many advantages. You can “raise” a tile… you can extract a tile days after… it’s clean, and allows movement and flexibility. Even small tile over cement (stepping stones) left outside in South Florida heat and rain, for four years and still good. After I paste with OmniGrip, I use an exacto knife the next day and pull up any extra. Also between tiles. It’s just fabulous stuff! Home Depot. I cannot imagine using thinset! Crazy.

Working with tessere of different thicknesses is definitely one of the cases where the easiest way is to use to so-called "indirect" method for making the mosaic - i.e., assemble it upside down on some adhesive surface (traditionally, water soluble glue on paper would be used, but something like those adhesive sheets for printing labels will do just fine), pour over and level the cement (or whatever other adhesive you're using), let it cure, then flip the whole thing over, remove the sticky paper and... Ta-daaa! You get a perfectly level surface with much less effort. The only thing you need to keep in mind and pay attention to is that your final product will be mirror-flipped with respect to what you see while assembling it.

Summer, what happened? Was the thinset mixed too thin? Or did you need more thinset under your tessera? Did the tessera sink while curing?😞

C'mon Summer, let's turn that frown upside down. I don't think your mosaic stinks. And neither does RU-vid! Keep at it, that's how we all learn. You can do this!🙌
@summerholmes4725
@summerholmes4725 2 года назад
I’m not sure what happened. Things DID sink so maybe the thinset was too thin. Part of the problem is that I did three new things at once. 1) It was my first mandala and my keystone was NOT pretty. 2) I backed clear glass with fabric to make some of the tiles and the thinset under it dulled the color. 3) Leveling the pieces with thinset. It may have been a mixture of just doing too many new things at one time and me trying to go at my normal speed instead of working slowly and more carefully. I posted it in mosaic mentoring and some people said they liked it. I did like it better after I grouted it by I certainly can’t list it in my shop. So it goes in my “fail” box and I count how many things I learned while making it. Lol
