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 Kathy |

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! |

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) Last edited by the Bird; 03-12-2008 at 08:16 PM.
