“I am very new to mosaics and have been addicted from the start. At first I did not think I would have the patience for this slow labor intensive media. The reality is I work pretty loose and fast at this point, and do not sweat the details too very much.” Rebecca Collins

I do mosaics. And I think your mosaics are great. I love your beetle. I like the octopus one too. They make great images. And the scottie dog! I tried something similar to what you have done, but the glue (I use silicon which will turn transparent when it dries) did not dry out completely, and obscured the image underneath, so it was basically a failure.
Could you tell me what you use? The silicon works well on a vase – that way the pieces do not drift around on the convex surface. Silicon really sticks great glass to glass. But you have to use opaque stained glass. I need to use something else when I attempt a project similar to what you are doing. (I made a layered koi image cut from some tissue paper and painted mod podge on it to seal it in for the base.)
Any info would be greatly appreciated. The website is one from a friend of mine. She does great mosaics. I do not have a web site – just do it as a hobby. Thanks for your help – Polly

Wow, thanks for featuring my work here! Polly I use a glue called weld-bond. Another good option is Lexel, although it is stickier to work with.
