Your projects look beautiful, love how you see things within things to create, enjoyed the video.

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Thanks Peter! I’m always on the lookout for substrates and tesserae. Can’t stop!

[@rupashukla5916]

Absolutely loved the monstera - especially the setting after you changed the plants. The cactus 🌵 adorable and your USP - the bugle beads - don't know how to express my admiration for your idea and execution 😍 and the gift article with atike background for a tiny pot with snake plant - 🤩. Love you Julie.

Thanks so much! 😊

[@patriciacrider8399]

Well done! Thank you!!

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

My pleasure!

I had to watch this video a second time. I so want to use smalti for my Monstera but by the looks of it and what I ordered I need a ton more pieces which adds up. I can admire yours though…so beautiful,

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

You could use anything for the mosaic! Can't really mess up with that base. Were you able to get the monstera base?

[@j.c.7555]

@@mazzonimosaics8222 yes I purchased one and love it! Now to find the the right mosaics to finish it! I might try glass but I need more practice cutting it . Any suggestions for a beginner?

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

That’s a loaded question! I’m self taught and learned through books at first. Bonnie Fitzgerald and Sonia King have excellent mosaic books. Eventually, you just need to start!

[@j.c.7555]

@@mazzonimosaics8222 Thank you! Pretty much have been doing the same…self teaching which is why I love watching all your videos. Thanks so much for putting them out there.🥰

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!

Belissimo um abraço da Holanda

[@j.c.7555]

So well thought out and put together! I loved your display of work of art! Beautiful! Makes me want to go to Walmart! Hope they the Monstera!❤️🥰

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Thank you! I put a link to the monstera leaf substrate in the description if you need to order it online!

[@j.c.7555]

@@mazzonimosaics8222 Thank you so much. I am excited to try one but I am very green.

[@charleyb8423]

Would you consider a one-week workshop for peeps from the Northeast? I am loving your channel.

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

I’m pretty busy now with four three hour ongoing classes per week. I might be able to do something in late June/early July when we take a break so kid’s camps can use the facility. Where are you?

[@marywhitlock2515]

Where do you find the time. You are so prolific and your work is beautiful.

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Thank you!

[@juliajauregui3575]

Where did you purchase your hammer and hardy?

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

It's been a while... I think Di Mosaico.

[@silviaconsoli1604]

Que maravilhoso!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Thank you!

[@judithstodola5521]

Can you cut smalti with nippers?

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Yes.

[@roxannecarlson2925]

I’ve just discovered your wonderful videos! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas, knowledge and artistry! The monstera and the cactus are beautiful. The green thinset used on the monstera is such a nice shade. Can you share the brand of thinset? Did you add a pigment? Thank you!

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Thinset is from Home Depot with Mortar Admixture and green dry Colorant added.

[@speedmom1702]

Is the thinset green or did you color it and with what? And do you just throw away the slivers you get from breaking the smalti? Thanks for the tip on cutting tile!! I love the bugle beads on the cactus!

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

I used green Colorant pigment in white thinset for the leaf. And I keep the smalti scrap!
