Peter you really are good and an inspiration to me! Thank you for sharing your work.
When you do break tiles, to you worry about the edges being rough? Do you smooth them at all?

Hi the Bird. bear trap is gone and the injection is starting to settle things down.
Rough edges aren't usually a problem.
I use the smooth outer edges of the tiles to edge the mosaic, so that gives a nice even edge to the whole piece.
Some tiles that aren't baked at a high temperature tend to crumble when cut or broken, and these can give an irregular edge. I try to avoid using this tile.
Some edges can be really sharp, so you do get the odd cut as you go. But it is not much of a problem.
I now use a small plastic syringe for the glue application-nice and light and easy to use.
I hope you have been inspired to do some mosaics. love to see your work.
Any other queries, don't hesitate.
