Hi AS Tzfat! Thanks so much! Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥

[@TaishaMcGee]

I have watched this video at least three times because the projects are so artistically varied. These are just stunning, without seeming impossible for a novice to create.

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi TaishaMcGee! Awww, thanks for your kind words!😊 It's great to hear you enjoyed the projects and that they seem easy enough to make. That's exactly why I created this channel.✨ You got this! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@judymiller323]

Julie you have a green/ teal heart "always" that is just beautiful ! It looks like the grout is caviar ! beautiful.... what did you use?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Judy! Awww, thanks for your kind words.😊 The grout is actually microbeads. It's a little messy to work with but what a fun, unique result. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

Hi Carolyn! Thanks so much! Me too! 😂 Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!

Love your mosaic postcard artwork❤️ Could you tackle an outdoor 3-D mosaic piece, a tower maybe.

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Peg! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the finished pieces. Quick & easy! I'll add your future video idea to the list. I appreciate your suggestion. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌

[@TahloolaDarlin]

You are the best! You make things seem doable by breaking it down to simple understandable steps. Two questions: If using the wood, how would I make this hangable? 2) I have dozens of flat canvas substrate. Could I use those or must the substrate be wood?

[@garybratton8601]

Thank you for this video. Lots of good ideas here!

[@JulieWeilbacher]

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Cheryl! Awww, thanks for watching. Great to hear you like all of the cards. They're easy + quick....plus you can make the design as simple or as elaborate as you like. Either way, they'll be adorable! 😉 Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!

[@j.c.7555]

Appreciate the tips regarding the mastic. Love each and every atc card you made. You have an abundance of such good important useful information I can’t get enough. Thank you for all your time making these videos. I look forward to them.❤️🥰

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi JC! Thanks so much! Great to hear you enjoyed the video and projects. These are cards are so much fun to make and you can fit a surprising amount of tesserae on each one. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here! 💗

Thanks! Dear Julie, This is one of my favorite of your videos. Thank-you for your inspiration, guidance and support. You have helped me tremendously. A quick question:I like pique Assiette mosaics. Are newer plates not good to use? I have read this, but notice that you sometimes use newer plates, Thanks! MM Riccio

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi MM! Awwww, thanks for the 'super thanks!'💗 I appreciate it! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. As for new v. old plates, I use both. It's true that some older plates are easier to cut...however, I try to not limit myself as far as what I use. In fact, I just purchased another 8 plates (new!) that I couldn't resist (butterflies, bumblebees). Always remember, there are tools that can help you with whatever material you want to work with. No limits!🙌 Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@kimberlee2022]

Hi, Julie. The link to your etsy shop went to a generic etsy page. What is the name of your shop so I can type it in by hand instead. Thank you! K P.S. Is your ATC Flower Bouquet piece for sale by chance? It's so darn cute.

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Kimberlee! My shop is: www.etsy.com/shop/mosaicmadness. Awwww, great to hear you like how the bouquet ATC turned out.😊 It hasn't been added to my shop yet. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🌟

[@myserenitycrafts]

Thanks for all the great tips Julie. I’ve been making ATCs too. Tfs. Sara

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi myserenitycrafts! Thanks for watching! Great to hear you enjoyed the video! Aren't ATCs so fun to make?!? They're cute little size makes them almost addicting. I had to limit myself to 5. 😂 What do you use as a substrate and materials? Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!

Hi Nancy! You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Keep creating and I'm glad you're here! 🙌

[@j.c.7555]

Julie….can any regular glitter be used mixed with the grout or is it a special glitter? Thanks!

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi JC! If you haven't seen this week's video it's all about adding glitter to grout. Take a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLRp6purKubnbs. Fun stuff!⭐

[@ginnys8501]

Julie. Hey. When you cut plates and bowls, do you keep and use the footers and off cuts? Thanks

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Ginny! I always keep my cut offs, and sometimes keep my footers...it depends on how 'pretty' they are.😂 If they're scratched up or permanently dirty then I throw them out. I try to keep as much tesserae as possible because I never know when I might need it in the future. I swear I'm not a hoarder. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥

[@ginnys8501]

@@JulieWeilbacher thanks for replying. I don’t think you’re a hoarder at All. I was curious. I keep a lot of the off it’s and think they look cool on certain mosaics. I like to think I’m not wasting. I’ve really enjoyed your Videos and have learned a lot. I need new wheeled cutters. Do you really prefer the Montolits over the Leponitts?

[@ginnys8501]

I watched your organization video three times. It’s awesome. Do You store your. Focals and backstamps with the plate you cut or in their own containers for focals and backstamps?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

@@ginnys8501 Hi Ginny! My hoarder comment was poking fun at myself. I fully acknowledge that I have a lot of mosaic tesserae. I think it's important to try and use as much of our mosaic materials as possible. I love my Leponitts!

[@JulieWeilbacher]

@@ginnys8501 Hi Ginny! Thanks for your kind words. I store all of my backstamps together.

[@phyllisbarr4766]

why do you build up the tiles to be the same height? Do you ever tile using the natural heights?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Phyllis, for a project like this, I built up the materials to the same height because it's a 'card' that might be handled a lot more than say a piece of wall art. There are projects that I'll tile at the tesserae's natural height. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here! 🙌

[@phyllisbarr4766]

@@JulieWeilbacher ah thank you, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you

[@simoneandliamwebb3438]

Do you use regular mastik and if so how long does it take to set/cure?

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi there! Yes, sometimes I use mastic. As for curing time, it usually takes 24-48 hours. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥
