Thankyou and My pleasure Wendy and thanks for watching. 😊

[@maryjanefield6537]

I love your tips! I never tried the black and white photo, I will definitely do that now and I’m so glad you mention walking around and stretching. I worked in Physical Therapy for 40 years and know the importance of this. Thank you so much for all you do♥️

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much, appreciate that. The black and white photo works really well, i also take colour photos throughout the mosaic as well as the camera sees things we don't. :)

[@maryjanefield6537]

I just retired & my hobby will be mosaics. My head is about to explode with ideas & what to learn & where to learn it. This is the first video I have watched of yours. Watched others here on youtube but you are the best - Great advice. Thank you so, so much sir!

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou I appreciate that very much. I find the easiest thing to do is to look at a project you want to do and only concentrate on how to do that project, you will find as time goes on you will learn other things and its only when you do more mosaics that you will learn other techniques . Its better doing it this way then you dont have to concern yourself with other things that you may not want to do or will come at a later date. Trying to get everything right in your first mosaic wont happen but as long as you use the correct substrate, the correct adhesive and the correct materials for the environment its going into you will cover most things and the main thin is to just enjoy the journey and dont let everything become to daunting. Start with something simple first so as you finish it and get to know your tools and materials. :)

#17 is absolutely beautiful. Love it!!

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou so much, thats the one I have received the most comments about. :)

[@sunshinejenny777]

Thank You so much! I love all of your videos! Very helpful. The last tip is the best. The hardest part is starting, and then, finishing. Lol. I think I have to know everything and everything has to be beautiful. Ha ha ha. Just starting, for me, is the key.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much starting is the hardest part for many, but just start off with something very simple for inside, you really learn most as you go as there's more than one way to do a project so one persons way may not suit you. Don't wait till you have all the information because that will never happen, start when you have all the information for your first project, its a lot easier that way. :)

[@dianetoor3117]

Peter, I have had success pulling a seized grinding bit by using a faucet pull. Spray on a lubricant, let it sit overnight, and then the pull. Good luck. Love your work and accent!😁

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much and thankyou for the tip, will give that a go and see what happens. :)

That mosaic at #12, wow😲, just stunning, but looks so time consuming😪💝💝💝

I didn't create that mosaic piece, its a stock photo but it would've taken the person a while to create it but then most mosaics are very time consuming. :)

How nice to find your videos.....was wondering if you had a tip for nipping very thin china....?? I have some beautiful things to work with and can't figure out how to do it.....!!

[@kitstrandberg8747]

I had a grinding head stuck on my grinder. I used a "puller" to get it loose.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thats great you were able to get it off, saves a considerable amount of money. :)

[@carmenvinci3673]

You mention to do the sides first, do you mean also grout them before starting the top, or can grout whole project once completed? Also, with 3D type items, like items that will need extra cleaning, can they be glued on top of the grout once it has dried, or pushed into the grout while still wet? That way they don't get grout in them so they will stay clean. ??

[@TreasuryRoad]

I generally grout the whole job in one go when I have finished and the adhesive has fully cured. Adhering the 3D items on top you can do after grouting and once its fully cured, but it does depend on the look you are after. Don't embed the pieces into the grout because grout doesn't really have any adhesive properties so they will most likely fall out. :)

[@maryemerson3966]

You said to place beads higher so they don’t get buried. How do you do that? I guess you make the thinset bed thicker? Thank you!

[@TreasuryRoad]

You would just need to gauge it with the other Tess you’rejust want them sticking up a little bit more as round beads have less surface area. 😊

[@debbiepoetsch9355]

Hi -- I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for all your tips. I am sure you said this one somewhere, but I learned the lesson of using "too much adhesive" by doing a piece on a mirror with glue chip glass. That was weeks ago that I finished. I used silicone and am still waiting for it to completely dry. The piece that I didn't use too much glue is dry and looks great. Lesson Learned.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much Debbie, appreciate that. It can be a bit difficult gauging how much adhesive one needs sometimes it can be a fine line but the more you do the easier it becomes. I see those instances as not mistakes but opportunities to grow and learn. :)
