I haven't started a mosaic project yet. I came on you tube to get an idea of what I need to start. I am just in AWE of your work. Beyond beautiful. It's everything I could dream of my space having. I don't know if I could ever devote that much time, but I'm even more excited to get started! How is the peacock coming along? Is it finished?

[@mangomosaics]

Thank you Leanna! Yes the Peacock Mosaic is finished. Do take a look at the other films showing it's completion.

Hello, thank you for all the joy you give from watching your videos. I love them. Can I use little silicone to glue the mosaic to the mesh net before gluing it to the outside wall with proper tile adhesive?

[@mangomosaics]

I believe you have just asked me this same question on Instagram. The answer is still yes! 😁

[@salwaalhokail]

@@mangomosaics yes I did 🙃. Frankly I did not know where you answer your followers. Thank you very much for answering. And I thought your silicon is something special. 🌹

[@mangomosaics]

@@salwaalhokail no worries! Glad you found the information. I always add info in the description box as so many people ask... always useful to see first 😉

[@MsHanna666]

wooow, sooo much of that..how patient are u and how so much time u have

[@mangomosaics]

Well this is my occupation as a full time artist, Hana! 😁

[@crochetomania]

The mosaic on the ceiling just blew my mind! Awesome! Is Flexy Fix suitable for outside too? I want to make some mosaic in my garden (we have ugly concrete floor there instead of grass, so I thought mosaic can make it a bit more cheerful).

[@kimberlee2022]

How did you create your adorable signature tiles? Did you have those made for you?

[@cynthiaswank6678]

I love you work amd your cute accent. What kind of flat nippers do you use? Im from the states Thank you Cynthia

[@mangomosaics]

It's all in the description box below the film! 😊

[@joanneduncan2061]

Hello theor! Is their a way to cut a plate and reserve the middle of the plate at the same time as preserving the pattern on the edge of the plate ? I'm new to this mosaic are and I absolutely love your work!

[@mangomosaics]

It takes practice but it is possible to preserve the centre by cutting the edge of the plate at an angle. I use Montolit 55W2 wheel nippers that help to do that. Look them up on KZbin.

[@janeclaxton-oldfield7845]

Are those wheel cutters Montolit 55w or 33w please? I love your work and videos. Thank you so much!

[@mangomosaics]

Info found in the description box 😊

[@debmartin7937]

This is a question about the table you are working on outside. I assume you mosaic the top. Was that a metal wroth iron table like your chairs or glass I have a wroth iron table with open holes not solid and wanted to do a mosaic on it wondering if that was possible but really not sure what to cover it with?

[@mangomosaics]

This table had a marine ply top.... I used external grade adhesives with porcelain tiles.... the plywood delaminated. I repurposed all the tessera and created a wall mosaic. Here's the installation link:kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYupfah9msxofa8 You could adhere onto iron... but if it's decorated with holes that sounds like a tricky .... but then I can't see what the table looks like. Give it a go if you want.... nothing to loose! 😘

[@ingridlahaye8107]

Hi thankyou! Do you just glue tile to the (painted) drywall??

[@cynthiacook583]

I went to my local thrift shop, here in the states, and much to my suprise, sitting on a shelf, 10 cups and saucers Finlandia.... I did not buy them , $40.00, also do not know how to cut up cups, yet. They are lovely, though.

[@mangomosaics]

Cups are best left on the shelf. Chipped plates are the best to cut up! $40 is a lot to pay! You would be better finding crockery in a garage sale.

[@cynthiacook583]

@@mangomosaics I went back and much to my delight ,they were still there,so I took the plunge and bought them! Cutting them up has been , I must admit , a challenge, but will do as you do. Thanks for the inspiration.I got them on half off day. $20.00 US dollars :)

[@cynthiacook583]

@@mangomosaics Yes, the cups have been difficult, saucers easier.

[@carolzutski7739]

Do you ever sharpen the side biter? How long do they stay sharp?

[@mangomosaics]

It has remained very sharp... possibly sharpened with age !!!

What substrate do you use for a project indoors?

[@ingridlahaye8107]

HELLO?!! I cant figure out what exactly you glued the mosaic to...is it drywall or something else?

[@christinahulbert9075]

I was checking out the Monti lit 55 nippers you were telling us about in the video, and the prices go from $60-$120. Which exactly are the ones you use? I’m hoping they are the $60 ones. I need to know ASAP PLEASE. Thanks Christina

ASAP response: All the the information is in the description box below the film.

Have you ever cut a glass plate into pieces? Not China but glass… Like cut glass plate/depression glass plate… Thank you.

[@angierox6964]

Hello! Thank you for sharing your information and lovely work! I went to the website to order the nibblers, I found the website and I found all the information but I couldn’t figure out how to order them. So I I tried to contact them via email and I’m not able to fill in the form. If they are no longer in business is there an alternative that you like and would recommend?

[@mangomosaics]

Hi Angie Did you get in touch with the Montolit company directly to find the 55W2 wheel nippers ? I'm sure if you Google the product or search in ebay you might find it. I find that's how I have discovered things this way. Good luck in your search. 🙏🏾

[@angierox6964]

@@mangomosaics I thanks for your reply, no I ordered a set from Amazon and they are working fine. It’s my first mosaic. I’m fixing a table that was broken during my move but I love it!
