MAKE A MOSAIC EYE | Part I: Understanding tonal value

[@kierstenchristian1329]

I love your videos. I have learned so much! I can’t wait to start my first smalti mosaic. I would love to see a video on how to represent flesh tones! Thank you for your videos!

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

You're very welcome! 😀

Please, can you make a tutorial on the rest of the face too 😊. Thank you, very clear and helpful instructions!

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

I will try! It will have to be done in stages though because it will take a while 😀

[@tonyaregan6473]

I love learning something new! I'm glad you showed the process. It was very helpful, thank you!

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

I'm glad to hear it!

This video is very educational. Thank you! I’m going to try it.

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

Great! I hope it goes well 😀

Very helpful, I find single eyes are very hard and two eyes on a face is good for patience and temper control training

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

So glad it helped!

This is wonderful. Question: I’m making a mosaic pet portrait and it’s 8.5”x11”, zoomed in of a cats face and bust. The issue is the eyes are pretty small so it’s hard to cut the tessera down that small - I’m using stained glass. Any tips?

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

Thanks Pam! I wish I could help but I have no experience in stained glass so I'm afraid I will have to pass on this question 😀

@@HelenMilesMosaics I’m so embarrassed-of course you don’t because I’ve watched your videos and you use smalti! My mistake! I’m working up to smalti as I am new to mosaics. You most certainly inspire! I look at smalti as the precipice of mosaic’ ing hehe. I’ll get there one day. I love and appreciate all that you do!! Thanks for answering :)

@@coachpampeterson Thanks for this Pam! I'm envious of you working with stained glass. It's a beautiful material but feels like a very different medium from mosaic so I am leaving it to the experts!
