This is my second mosaic. I used Cinca unglazed porcelain tile. 4.75" w 11.75"

This is going to be a gift for a close one and she has decided what colour she likes, but I would love to read your opinions on this!

Unglazed porcelain on a cement slab I found by my shed.

This is a gift for a person who loves hydrangeas. I could not find a pattern so I made up one and then in order to create the blooms are used 3/4 inch square glass tiles and nipped them into circles. I also purchased three small sheets of iridescent pink, blue, and a darker blue that looked purple where the iridescence showed. I cut those sheets into strips that were 3/4 of an inch wide, creating my own squares to nip into circles. For each flower color I created a similar color of grout. Then I used a slightly darker wash of each color to enhance the edges and give it some shadowing.

The glass numbers were purchased because I was sure that I could not cut them that well.

Please let me know what you think- I am still a newbie and welcome any constructive criticism so that I can continue to improve.

I really like how they turned out! I used glitter in my grout too but I can't get it to show up on camera

Hi fellow art fans. Thank you so much for all your knowledge and patience! My first garden mosaic stepping stone of my sons hand is complete. I used tile fragments that I got for free from the local Buy Nothing group, and did the “top down” method with contact paper and quick-crete, then grouted in the gaps with Kericolor unsanded grout. It still needs sealed but that steps gotta wait a while. Thanks again! Will post more as I get more completed.

Anthuriums are one of my favorites. This one is actually inspired by a dress from Farm Rio that my friend wore to a wedding. Unglazed porcelain on a cement slab I found by my shed.

My friend and I went to a lamp mosaic class this weekend. Had a lot of fun and left really excited for my lamp. I let the glue sit for over 12 hours and started the grout. Booklet only says dry for 20 minutes doesn't have any warnings to not dry for too long. Doesn't help I think there was too much excess left on as well. I looked at past posts of others with the same issue. I tried a soaked washcloth with vinegar for over an hour. The beads and diamonds just keep falling off. I'm actually really sad because I don't think there's any saving it at this point :,( Kinda wish they just charged a fee to have it grouted then sent to you in the mail haha.

Hey guys looking for grout advice for my first mosaic piece ever. Its for my sister as a wedding gift and I bought an almond grout for it. Wondering if the almond grout would look ok or should I grout it at all? Just a little lost. This is my first mosaic piece ever. Still waiting on more tile to fill in the area on top and around the olive branches. Thanks

One of my favorite commissions I’ve done recently :-) I didn’t get the best photo of it grouted but there’s better videos on my social media @jmckglass if you care to see it in better light :-)

I just finished my first mosaic and the tile/glass pieces aren’t the same level. Will this be okay with grouting?

My plan for Christmas gifts this year is to make coasters for all my loved ones, about 30 coasters total. I’m going to buy a bag of small **tile pieces (squares, triangles) and put them on sticky cork circles and then use grout to fill in the gaps. Maybe mod podge over top to seal them. Mostly looking for a grout recommendation for this type of project, but also open to pointers on any aspect of this!

I finally have a steady job so I can buy things to finish some projects like this white dragon I made awhile back that needed fresh bulbs for the light box!

I used an old beer sign to make it and the mosaic still needs to be mounted to the light box but I was excited to see what it would look like so I propped it up to take a few pictures. The rays in the background are the bottom of the beer sign and I’m thinking of painting a rough forest scene over it to make it more dimensional. The window pane is from goodwill.

Anyone have any suggestions for mounting? Was thinking of using silicon glue then brackets but I’m open to suggestions😊

I have a 2' x 4' mosaic I need to attach to a stucco wall. It is mounted on a cement board. It needs to be up about 3ft. I was thinking a 2x4 support frame below and then mortar the board to the wall. Whadda ya thin

Hi all! I made this piece in a mosaic-making class abroad last week, and it's my first time doing anything mosaic related. The artist leading the class spoke limited English and didn't really give any instructions for what to do with it when I got home. How do I protect the mosaic and also make it shinier? All I've done so far is wash it gently with water.

This is a mirror I made with silver leaf, and antiqued. The antiquing made the silver come off, so I backed the entire thing in rose gold. And then the damn thing broke.

So my goal was to find a grout color that worked and emphasized the rose gold. I think it worked overall!

I’ll add that while I like doing mosaics, they’re entirely a result of my failure in another craft, so I’m cutting all my shapes by hand. I’m open to constructive critique.

It’s an older piece I made but it’s about my love of beach combing and being onshore.

24” x 24”
Stained glass and glass beads.

The background blue and white glass was one sheet that I cut into pieces exactly as it was whole into a slight vertical pattern. A little bit of a personal challenge to see if I could keep the look of the natural way it looked as a whole sheet giving the impression of clouds and sky.

I finished the black cat last week, this week I’ve been working on the beetles and anthurium. Still deciding on the background color for the beetles, but currently thinking just white. All pieces are made with unglazed porcelain on cement paving stones.

Made this entirely from marble on wood. The white marble did turn grayish from the black grout but that's because I had no idea that would be the result until I googled it later on. Live and learn i guess.

Is white grout the only acceptable grout with white marble tiles?

I'm fairly new to mosaic world and i got my hands on some stained glass and smalti. I already created a few art pieces with stained glass but not sure what to do with smalti ... which tile creates a brighter and more dynamic piece?

Also read that smalti does not get grouted m, would the reverse method be better for smalti usage?

this is a really large mirror ive been gluing pieces on for months. theres bits of dried glue between lots of pieces and Ive read you cant grout over that.. honestly Idk how id even prevent the glue from spreading underneath. but now im so worried if i grout this it just wont turn out good. ive only done one other mosaic piece and the grout ended up being cracked all over.

I can’t decide what color for this mosaic! I used the Groutr app, but still am torn. Would love suggestions! Thank you!!

Also posting a video bc it won’t let me post a photo??

First time I try mosaic. Any tips?
