Mosaic work is a craft I have wanted to try for a few years now. I've been meaning to read a book, watch a tutorial or go to a class and finally I have :)
Yesterday I went to a Mosaic class in Observatory run by Bit by Bit Mosaics. I got to make a potholder.
The things I have learnt from this; I will be leaving it to someone else unless I really cannot find what I want. Breaking up the glass into slivers in hard on the hands and I am terrible and laying out a design that I have not had a great of time to ponder over the final effect.
The final product was a bit too coarse than I wished, but I was rushed for time. The next step is grouting the tiles.
The picture below is my moms potholder, a sort of Asian style tree with copper and black background.
