Good idea.
I find that doing mosaics is very absorbing, time flies, and it is like a meditation session.
Mind you, the pain hits a day or two later, but I take the view that if I'm going to be sore, I won't mind so much if I have something to show for it.
So the pleasure is worth the pain.
I would suggest that before you start anything, spend a good bit of time with the design and colours. Putting the piece together is easy, but getting the design right is where the work is. I am very fortunate to have an artistic daughter, at home, who guides me on this, and lets me know when it is not right.
Enjoy.

I've done mosaics for years. I have numerous tables around the house that I've done. I've sold lots on ebay.
I take a break from mosaics during the winter because it is too cold to sit outside and grout and don't want to do it inside.

I use stained glass and plates that I cut up. What I don't use or don't think I'll use I sell on ebay. Somebody can always use my extras lol

I bet they are gorgeous Kathy!

How ya doing?

I don't think I told you that I tiled my tub this past fall/winter....it turned out gorgeous! But without elbowgrease from hubby! I got fatigued as I grouted the tub and left it, thinking I could get it off later....

whoops - it was cement based grout so he spent many an hour working, chiseling, acid applying, and chiseling and ....

but the tub is gorgeous!

Your 'tub' as in your bathtub? I'd love to see a picture...what a neat idea. I did one mosaic (stepping stone type); nothing like the works of art here, but an original 'Tootsie'. It is a stepping stone I put in my garden and it says 'MOM'. I used some of my mom's old china and other bits of glass.

Pictures please!!!

Well let me go see if I can get that camera to work!!

I took the pics! Gotta transfer them now!

here's my table top that I did after my worst MS attack, made with my daughter, 13!!!

Here's my tub!!!

The pink looks garish in this picture, but in real life, it is very lovely!!! If I say so myself!

the 2 rows of tile were already there (offwhite ones) and they had JUST discontinued that color when I decided to do this! The small tiles are stone. I used stone and ceramic for the front of the tub (this was CARPETED!!! Can you believe anyone would carpet the front of a tub!)

Anyway the floor you see is concrete, we pulled the linoleum up there so I could get to the bottom - we will redo the floor after my husband remodels the toilet room and makes it wheelchair accessible (in the event that is needed again)
