[@bonnieblenders4606]

That piece makes me smile. We all need more of that, right?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Bonnie! You got that right, more smiles is always a good thing! Great to hear you like how the mosaic turned out. Such a fun project! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

I now have a good use for my dad's vintage whet stone!!!!! I wasn't looking forward to a diamond bit grinder. (Low vision) Thank you!!! this is a good first project and I have LOTS of failed canvas board paintings I can cover up I have a vintage bowl with lid, was my aunts and she'd glue'd it together, I can't remember what it's called capote? Three dimensional porcelain flowers.. I can do something with that and not feel like I'm wrecking antiques. I had to look up mudlarker, I had no clue.*L

Hi Julie I made two pique assiette, had fun love doing them. Your video inspired me to do them and thanks for the fun.

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Marion! That's wonderful to hear! What shapes did you make, and what colors did you use? Same size as the one I made? As always, keep creating and I'm glad you're here! 🔥

[@marionritcey583]

@@JulieWeilbacher HI I used a 5x7 box frame. I bought plates in a few different materials to use. one was a china plate with a Chines junk on a lake with pretty trees. I also made a few and friends grabbed then the last time they were here. great to do on a snowy afternoon.

[@marionritcey583]

@@JulieWeilbacher I did different colors and the size of the egg was 2 1/2 inches could not find larger. The colors were orange, red and light blue. I wrapped the eggs with small vitreous glass squares of blue and white. I loved them had fun doing it. going to do more for Eater Baskets

[@marionritcey583]

Hello loved this video will try it soon. you have helped me so much. I saw someone mosaiced a high heel shoe I may try that too. Have a good day.

Hi Marion! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Ohhh, a high heel shoe! How fun!! Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!⭐

Hi Neusa! Awww, thanks so much!😊 It's great to hear you like how it turned out. I was excited too! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@stefp.358]

Thank you Julie! What about if we were to glue/stick tiles directly on passepartout paper? What adhesive product would you recommend in order to avoid having the passepartout paper soaked (the tiles won't cover the paper everywhere, therefore a soaked passepartout paper will ruin the visual)?

[@arlenebain5678]

Beautiful!! Love this idea! Thanks Julie! ♥️😁

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Arlene! Thanks for watching...and great to hear you enjoyed the project. It's quick, easy, and totally customizable. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!😊

Hola Julie. Que grosor debe tener el panel que usas para pegar la cerámica? Para que quede bien en el portaretratos. Gracias

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi there! Everything I used in the video is listed below in the description. Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!🔥

[@patriciakerr2486]

Yes I have done an ungrouted piece! In fact, I used the same kind of board that you did. 🙂. Looks like a quilt pattern.

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Patricia! Ohhhh a quilt pattern! 😍 Did you use ceramic and porcelain pieces? What was your color combo like? Sounds beautiful. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here.🙌

[@patriciakerr2486]

@@JulieWeilbacher wish I could figure out how to post a picture. Flat tiles (the kind with the ribs on one side and flat on the other(. Multiple colors combos: red/pink, greens, blues, black/white, tan/brown.

[@sherrybradshaw5099]

Great video. Have a question. I'm wanting to grout a mosaic vase I'm making. I want the grout to be very, very rough. 3 dimensional. Can I use stucco or do you have a better idea? Thank you

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Sherry! Hmmmm, stucco. What an interesting grout.🤔 I'd suggest making a sample board to see if you like how the stucco acts (and looks!) as a grout. Love your idea! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@terrymendola2]

Hi Julie! Is a canvas appropriate to use as a substrate? You are so amazing! I ❤ watching you!

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Terry! Aww, thank you for your kind words!😊 You want to use a canvas that is adhered to a board, otherwise the weight of the tesserae would pull it down and sag, and the tesserae might actually pull off too -- good ol' gravity!😂 So the 'canvas' I used in this project comes adhered to a heavy board from the manufacturer. Check out the description below the video for materials/supplies I used. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@lisarobinson6038]

Love you videos thank you. Do you seal the raw edge of the China ?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Lisa! Awww, thank you for your kind words and support!😊 I don't seal the edges of the tesserae. I cut, grind, and adhere! Short, sweet, and to the point!😂 Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!

[@conniemicheli4137]

where is the description button???

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Connie! There are two ways of finding it. If you're watching on your computer, you'll want to look under the video title which is where you'll find the video description...and click 'show more' to reveal the rest of the description plus all of the additional info/supply lists, etc. If you're watching on mobile/tablet, you'll want to click the down arrow to the right of the video title. Hope that helps! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@karenjoncour6151]

Hahaha yes I do like options🤣 That was a very good project with a beautiful result. Is the purpose of the grinding stone only to give it a worn look? I wouldn’t need to use it on all of my projects would I?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Karen! We do like options don't we? 🙌 Thanks for watching and great to hear you like how it turned out. Yes, the only purpose of the grinding stone is to give a worn look, however, sometimes tesserae need to be smoothed down due to jagged edges. You won't need to use it on every project though. I listed the one I used in the description below the video under 'tools.' Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥

[@julieruffcorn289]

Julie, thank you for sharing your art! I really enjoy your videos. This is one of my faves. One question....what are your thoughts on tesserae being the same size?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Julie! (great name!)😉 Thanks for your kind words about my videos!! Yes, you can absolutely go with the same size tesserae. This mosaic allows for so many design options. Have fun with it! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@kristymills9814]

Can a glue gun be used to glue glass to glass? I need a fast drying glue fro my glass on glass.

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Kristy! I wouldn't use a glue gun. Instead try a clear epoxy glue for GOG. It's just a little messy. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌

[@kirstenhastings9052]

Love this project! As so many of the things you make. I’m a huge fan! Would clear silicone work as an adhesive for this? Thank you!

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Kirsten! Thanks so much! Great to hear you enjoyed the project and my videos. 😊 Yes, clear silicone would work. It falls into the what I was saying in the video about certain adhesives being 'messy' or spilling out from under the tesserae. Silicone can be messy in general. So make sure you tape up the entire non-mosaic area just to be sure none of the silicone drips onto it. Let me know how the silicone goes! Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥

[@tinamaruco4920]

Julie where did u get your hand block grinder pls?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Tina! The sanding stone is listed under the video in the description and you'll want to go to the 'tools' section. It's a great little took to have in your mosaic kit. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌

[@tinamaruco4920]

Sorry I looked didn't see it before I do now ty!

[@susanbertoncini4761]

I appreciate your lessons, can ungrouted glass work with this style? I work with stained glass and have a lot of pieces. I would appreciate your thoughts

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Susan! Thanks for watching the video and great to hear you like how the project turned out. I would be VERY interested to see how it would come out with stained glass. I envision it to be a contemporary mosaic. I might need to try that! Let me know if you do too! Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!⭐

[@cyhomer]

Ooh..just thought of a question: if I chose not to frame, do you think the canvas board would warp? Ty

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Cathy! As long as you aren't adhering heavy tesserae, and you don't use an excess amount of adhesive, I don't think your canvas board would warp. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🌟

[@CoconPelu2023]

Can this be done with glass tile as well?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Elizabeth! Sure! Just keep in mind the finished look of your mosaic will be a little different. Keep creating and I’m glad you’re here!🔥
