Artist's Comments

Glass Mosaic Coaster

Very basic attempt at making a glass mosaic- The edges look horrible- I think bigger projects would look more effective in mosaic form.

Also I think the gaps are too big and that makes the grout stabd out more than the glass...

But overall as a first piece I'm relatively happy with how it turned out.

I like the unusual shapes you've used, more interesting than squares :)

Hey thanks Donna, yeah I like the different shapes- as sual I got some larger mosaic projects planned so this was a tes to practice the technique involved- slightly more tricky than I thought it would be...

looks good for your first shot. you can get the glass closer together - the grout will still fit in between the pieces. if you have air bubbles or excess glue, dig it out and mix more grout and fill it in. you might find it easier to have a frame around the coaster? something to grout too. then lift the frame up after it has dried for a couple of hours. you'll have a nice clean edge. just a thought. good luck.

I'm a stained glass mosaic artist that specializes in mosaic portraits. All I need is a digital photo to quote a firm price. Production takes around 2 weeks. All windows can be enjoyed outside year round with minimal shelter from the weathers.

Thanks! Yeah Yeah I did dig out some of the glue but I still had some in there- I used toothpicks to get some of the glue out.

I agree if I had a frame the edges would look alot tidier.

Thanks again for the advice!

if you can get your hands on a dentist's tooth cleaning tool - its alot easier-promise. When a dentist breaks the tip off they just throw it away, you might get your dentist to save you one? just a thought. good luck!

Hey thanks for the tip- when I'm aching to do another- just not enough time in the day!!! Can't wait to do a larger project with more detail though- cheers for all your help!
