We have traced the image on the wall and are prepping the wall to receive the mosaic. If the surface has been painted it needs to be "roughed up" a little. Then the thin set is applied.
I just love your work and thank you very much for sharing your skills! Your tutorials are great. Don't remember what brought me to your blog in the first place, but I check in often to see what's new. You really got me motivated to try my hand on mosaic!
There is just one question I have (for the time being :-) What kind of glue do you use to glue the tiles to the mesh?
I am a proffessional mosaic artist and live in a one room palapa on the beach in a small town near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico called Bucerias. I have renovated a residential plaza that was located around the corner into an art center with 4 galleries, mosaic school, painting and cooking schools also. I founded a local art walk for all the galleries in town and now it just sounds like I am bragging! The summer of 2009 is going to be all about experimenting for me. First this blog, then I took some kite surfing lessons and next painting lessons!
