    Wow, what a field trip that was! I'm so grateful for the privilege of assisting a mosaicist with a bench installation. Awesome experience. Can't wait to see St. Mark finished. Thanks Julie.

    Jennifer’s project is amazing . I hope you can record the bench when it is finished . It fascinates me to see someone’s studio that is so organized. I can only hope someday . Your lion is amazing - thank you for doing these videos.

      Her studio is heated with space heaters - BRRR! Reminds me of my days in my garage studio.

    Thank you for taking us to Jennifer's house. I love the cocoon, bee and wisteria! The whole panel is gorgeous!! Wow, it's almost as long as my house!! i love all her other work as well! So creative! I wish I was half as creative as both of you! 🙂

    St Matthew facial features amaze me-like a photo. Very interesting field trip-what a project Jennifer is creating. A bench for the entire town to sit on. St Mark has turned out very nice as well. You enjoy your pendants-they turned out pretty. I liked the first one better. 💖💖🎶🎶

      I liked the first one better too! I want to make some lighter pink filati and make some that are a softer look. Thanks for watching!

    Awesome👏👏👏 Mane work and pendants but the visit to Jennifer's takes the cake. What she's doing for that bench is INCREDIBLE - the details are mind blowing. Julie thanks for taking us along - couldn't take my eyes off any creation of hers. Please share a link to her channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Ha! Not every mosaic artist has a channel. Jennifer has been making public mosaics for quite a while, but doesn't spend much time on social media. Here's her website: www.mosaicodyssey.com/index.html

    Beautiful as always! I missed why you needed to cut the head out at this point.?
    I love learning from you with every video! Thank you!

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому +1

      My spacing is very close together and I want to make sure they are separated now for the installation later. The thinset is difficult to cut through, so that is the main issue.

  • @sharonc7031
    @sharonc7031 Рік тому +1

    Question: out of curiosity, how would St. Matthew’s hair be so lightly colored coming from a country around the equator where everyone would have been dark at that time? Help me understand. Thank you. And that lion is the bomb!

      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому +1

      The likeness is at the request of the client. The angel is a symbol of St. Matthew, not an actual representation of the the man.

    • @mazzonimosaics8222

      Nippers for fatter pieces. Diamond file and snapping for the thinner pieces.

  • @lorimckenzie4227
    @lorimckenzie4227 Рік тому +1

    Julie, thanks so much for all of your super informative videos! Question: If you were to wrap the cut away edges (such as the head you just cut away) in plastic wrap or painters tape before starting to glue your work next to them, would that work to keep them from getting stuck together?

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому

      That’s a good idea! I wouldn’t want it to bunch up in between though. So far not a problem as long as I am careful with the thinset.

    Hi Julie, where can I buy the deep bezels for making the pendants? How deep should they be?

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  10 місяців тому +1

      I buy mine from Amate Studios. Their bezels are all deep enough. Nothing too shallow.

    Your videos are always so interesting and helpful for this budding mosaic artist. But that 48 foot long bench that lady was doing the panels for?!! Porn! Pure Mosaic Porn! That’s an incredible piece of work. Can you do a video on how you price your mosaics for sale? I have such a hard time figuring out my pricing.

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому

      Pricing is a bit tricky as it depends on what your local area will pay as well as your skill level. And you might need to raise prices as material prices increase.

  • @sharonc7031

    Are St. Matthew’s eyes blue? Would not have happened in that region as well. Artists normally attempt to depict the truth. Help me understand the reasoning. We as artists are people’s guides.

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому

      Same as before - the client request certain characteristics of the angelic symbol of St. Matthew. It is not a representation of St. Matthew the man, so there is some room for interpretation.

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому +1

      It can be confusing. Someone earlier asked why the angel as they did not understand the context. I don't really explain or show the design process of going back and forth with the client that took months!

    • @mazzonimosaics8222
      @mazzonimosaics8222  Рік тому +1

      Not a lie, just an image of an angel. The angel is a symbol of St. Matthew the Evangelist. As a symbol, they choose to show it how they want. In no way are they or I saying that this is a representation of St. Matthew the person. Just a symbol.

      @@mazzonimosaics8222 thank you and you have to know that I appreciate your work. If I were new to the planet, fresh eyes, and had no understanding of who’s who, I’d think that the art that I was looking at was St. Matthew of the Bible until years later when somebody set me straight. I’ve already lived under that rock for a full lifetime. Jus’ sayin’. And just needed to share my thoughts.
