Re: Help with Mosaics?
Hi @Julieg9426,
How'd you go reading through those discussions?
To get started, I'd recommend some basic tools and materials, including a Mandala Art Mosaic Glass Cutter, Mandala Art Mosaic Glue and Mandala Art White Super Fine Mosaic Grout. This Mandala Art range is fantastic when beginning mosaicing.
We also have a great range of coloured tiles which you can use. If cutting your own tiles is a bit daunting for a first project, I can suggest using the pre-cut tiles similar to Mandala Art Mosaic Glass Tiles. For my first project, I used the pre-cut pieces and found it a breeze to create something I was proud of. I'm not sure if it is a snail or a nautilus, but I'll include an image below either way.
I look forward to seeing your first project and would encourage you to let us know if you have any questions or need assistance.
Mitchell

Re: Help with Mosaics?
Hello @Julieg9426
You can do it Julie! Remember nothing is set in cement until you glue it to the table! Even then you still have a chance to change it until the glue hardens. Don't be afraid to cut tile or glass you've got heaps of chances to try over and over again! Looking forward to your first attempt. Please post your work!
Cheers,
Red
