SHOULD I DRY LAY MY MOSAIC? | Pros and cons of dry laying your mosaic

[@sherrillgammon3366]

The clay method is fascinating, and I might mention that polymer clay will never harden and is very easy to work with and store.

Great tip! As it happens I had just ordered some for something else but now I will give it a go for mosaic planning too. Thank you 🙏

Hi dear Helen. In my mosaic school, they teach me to mix two spoons of flour with a glass of hot water very well, then we add a spoon of white glue to fix the glasses tiles. Later, when the work is finished, we cover it with a bond ciment

Hello there! Yes, I used to make flour paste glue like that in when I was in Greece. Where are you based?

Another very helpful video Helen, many thanks for posting this. Also, I've just tried out my new Sea Bell wheeled cutters and compound tile cutters - they're every bit as good as they looked on your recent video, so thanks for the tip. I've just bought your book and its by far the best I've come across for beginner and near-beginner mosaicists - so clearly laid out with excellent photographs and explanations. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a follow up......😉!

i'm really glad it was helpful! I had been thinking that I dont really need the Seabell compound nippers simply because I have so many tools already but you have inspired me to get some. I already love their wheeled cutters and wouldn't be without them so I am sure the compound nippers are worth it. It's very nice to hear you enjoyed the book too. 😀🙏
