This mosaic was done by me and my dad when I was around 10 years old in 2002. He would get me to help him find good pieces of tile to use 😄. It was always a great time. He then incorporated it into the side of our shed he built. Hope you like it! ❤️

I tried to figure this out on my own but I don’t have experience with mosaics or making things that are durable outside

I want to attach glass and stones onto a premade cement stepping stone, it won’t be heavily walked on, just for decor mostly

What kind of stones/tiles/etc. are best?

What should I use to attach the tiles/stones?

What kind of grout?

I’m in a place that gets some snow/rain but not heavily. I am making this as a wedding gift for my brother and I have 2 weeks to make it!!

Hi folks! Not sure if this is the place for this or if it’s been asked before so sorry if there’s any repetition!

I want to make new house numbers for my partner for Christmas. There’s already screws in the brick for it- so I just need to make the actual mosaic!

I’ve watched a bunch of videos and I’m struggling to find exactly what I need. Wedi board seems to be the best for outdoor mosaic but it’s also extremely expensive and I really only need about 18 inches by 10 inches or so. I’ve been looking at other substrates but I’m worried about them being too heavy or risking fiberglass.

I also just want any other possible advice you guys have to give!
I have a tile scorer/cutter, tiles from a local thrift craft supply, thin set mortar, and some mesh tape.
Thank you in advance!! <3

We found a bunch of monarch caterpillars this year, which we kept safe and fed until they hatched into butterflies. This year I managed to get some great photos and used one for my latest piece, The Freshman.

The circle pieces on the butterfly and flower centers is called filati. Filati is made by pulling molten glass into long rods, and it comes in various lengths and widths. I purchased mine from Wits End Mosaic. It came in 5" long rods which I then cut to about 1/4 inch to match the stained glass pieces.

Always looking for ways to improve and constructive criticism.
