Oooooh I just stubbled across you at breakfast, I think I'm gonna get addicted, you are so helpful with your tips. Can't wait to get started and look forward to following your projects. Thank you for your tutorials.
Great tutorial!!! Can’t wait to get started! Your tips are awesome. I really like your thin set method for application much better than adhesive methods. Question: with stained glass pieces/ tiles, is the process the same? If not can you advise? Thanks!!!
Hi Jeff, Thanks for your comments! Yes, all of the steps and applications are the same. Although I have used many thinset brands with glass some do a better job than others so check your thinset to make sure that it is suitable for glass tile applications and you're good to go.
Good question! this video may give you some other ideas, I try to bevel the grout in between the different heights, and always use polymer fortified sanded grout, non sanded will crack. ua-cam.com/video/swDmXYd3xmI/v-deo.htmlsi=XVk7AH7X-TqivWbt
Ì just found your channel and subscribed.. With your professional knowledge you make my work better. Ì made a few but didn't know about keeping the pot wet etc. thank you! Also I did mine in summer outdoors, here in Iowa and the knats and flies drove me crazy!
Lovely work. Love the stones you used although I suspect they could be quite expensive, so I have a notion to try this with seashells, pebbles and glass that have been naturally tumbled by the sea.
Thanks for viewing. Shells and pebbles are a great alternative, although shells tend to be very challenging to grout. Check out "Fun and Easy DYI Pebble and Shell Mosaic Art Project with Children", we use shells without grouting, may gleam some insights for you.
I just love this video and your pot. Thank you for giving such good instructions. My clay pot has no lip and I placed my glass pieces almost to the top leaving a 1/4 inch lip. Do I grout around the top of the pot or leave it exposed along the top edge?
So thankful for such thorough instruction. The background music guitar strumming I feel is too distracting and repetitious for the instruction..IMO..other than that thank you for your excellent tips and dyi that turned out beautiful. Looking forward to more.
I love your page 💖 I have a question: where can I get these huge lovely petals from as all I can find are small & medium sized ones ?. I’m looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.
Hi Zaineb, You can find the petals here: witsendmosaic.com/ceramic-porcelain/fun-tile-shapes/brookstone-collection.html They are on available from the manufacture in mixed sizes only which includes the large ones.
Yes, If you are intending on using the container in an exterior application use an adhesive like Lexel or other silicone type adhesive that is recommended for exterior use. If your container is plastic make sure it is stiff and not flexible. Any flex in your substrate will/can cause your grout to crack.
Tips for a large pot ? I am buying it second hand so it is used and dirty. Too big to work on inside. It will take several sessions to apply all the tiles I will have to work on stages. Any quick advise or referral to appropriate info source?
All supplies from www.witsendmosaic.com/, they are "fun tile shapes," "micro mosaic tiles" (Brookstone Collection are the flower petals). Have fun and thanks for your interest!
I made a mosaic table top with stained glass. It's a indoor table but I anticipate somebody setting a drink glass on top of it. Therefore I want to seal it. What is the best easiest product to use? Can I use a polyurathane? Can I use modge podge? It would be almost impossible for me to only seal the grout and not get any sealer on the glass. Can I put grout sealer over the whole top and quickly wipe it off?. The glass pieces are super close together so it seems like I need something that can go on grout and glass without damage to either. I don't want to take away from the shine of the glass. Can I just use a spray acrylic sealer ? Thank you love your videos
Your question is so timely. No kidding just today I was editing a new video about making a mosaic table top for outside! I will post soon. Kim and I have pretty strong feelings about not sealing, why? Really a lot of work and sealants trap water, both in a protective manner, but also underneath. If any water finds its way under the tabletop substrate that may cause damage. Unless the work is very high traffic (a floor,) it may be far less work to scrub the spill out of the grout than do the labor intensive work of sealing, You must get the sealant into the grout and get it off all the tiles - yep every single piece of glass otherwise the sealant will dull the surface. Recommend you use the same manufacture of sealant that you used for grout. If a light-colored grout bleach in a spray bottle may do the trick if red wine was spilled. NO NO NO to modge podge, or spray acrylic. You could pour a resin over it, but confining the resin may be a problem (table would need a lip). You could get a custom piece of tempered glass to put on top. There are grouts available that have sealant properties already in them, such as Laticrete's Permacolor. Good luck. Bonnie
@@MakeitMosaics thank you for responding. I was thinking of covering the top with plexiglass or the such. I appreciate your timely response happy New year
Hi.. I really loved your tutorial.. I am doing mosaic for the very first time following your instructions.. I left a damp towel inside my terracotta pot after finishing with the thinset. However, when I checked after 24 hrs, my mosaic tiles were moving with visibly runny thinset. The thinset was no longer peanut butter consistency or even thicker. In fact it absorbed the water from the pot. Can you please advise what should I do differently to avoid this situation? TIA
Hmmmm. Can you advise what brand/type thinset you are using? I suspect it may be the premixed variety, which it not the correct product in this application.
@@srishtisinghal3319 The instructions in the video are for a cement-based adhesive. Cement-based adhesives Cure to set/harden. The damp towel prolongs the cure time, making the bond stronger. AcrylPro is an acrylic-based adhesive that dries to harden, so adding the water and the wet towel prevent it from drying and making it weaker. Although your adhesive suggests that it is for mosaics, It does not make it suitable for all conditions, and it would not be recommended in the instance of constant water presence in a flower pot. It is a product made for homeowners to do backsplashes etc. You can finish your pot with it but stop damping the pot. I can not speak to longevity if used for a plant? I have no experience using it.
I personally do not seal. I feel the polymer is enough. It has also been my experience that if the grout gets stained or mildewed it is much more difficult to clean if it sealed. I feel like what you are trying to clean off gets caught up in the sealer. If your main concern is keeping the water from soaking in. We already left the pot unsealed so sealing the outside won't help much. The water will come from the inside out. The most important thing is not to leave them outside in freeze thaw states.
Great question, no one has ever asked. yes damp is fine when applying tiles, I let thinset cure (dry) before grouting. Good luck. Thanks for being a fan.
Carmelinea, We ship to the UK. You can find these tiles at www.witsendmosaic.com You can try also try Mosaic Trader UK. I am not sure if they carry the shapes.
Total beginner here, but tried my hand at it some time ago. I used a dk gray grout and found it to stain all of my tiles. Any help or suggestions why? thank you
Please give me more info on the tiles used. Typically the only time this happens is on unglazed ceramic. If it is High fired and durable, it is easily removed with Vineger or any mild acid and a green scrubby.
Did you state that mosaic pots such as this one cannot be left out over the winter????? Our area has temps down to single digits on occasion. I wanted to mosaic a terra cotta pot for a toad house in a fairy garden but want to leave it in place year round. Bad idea?
Cynthia, It will really have to do with how well protected it is and I assume that as a toad house it will be upside down and therefore not really holding moisture. They can withstand freezing temps. I store mine dry in an unheated garage in Wisconsin. If it soaks up moisture outside from rain and/or snow and then freezes the terracotta will degrade. If in your climate you have left terracotta pots outside without issue it should not be a problem. It is really about the pot not the mosaic.
I too let the water sit overnight, I dump it in my garden or on a tree, it does not hurt the plantings - actually they like it, filled with lime. Then I scrape out the remains and put in trah. This video may provide some additional insights: "No one wants to call the Plumber!" ua-cam.com/video/c3DRD1Ss9Lo/v-deo.html
HI Rose, I was wondering if she did the whole pot in a day also...might me better to spread it out,,,,but they're arthe experts, so please let me know if you get the answer?? thanks have fun
@@MakeitMosaics Hi Kim. I am having an issue with my pot. I have a few of the tiles that just don't want to stay on. I have a damp towel in the pot and I am wondering if the maybe the amount of moisture could be the problem, but it is only a FEW of the tiles, towards the bottom. Any suggestions would be welcomed
@@trishfrench1927 First did you use pre-mixed or regular Thinset? If you used Premixed then you need to remove the cover and stop adding moisture. This material is quite different from the thinset that you add water to and mix yourself and needs air and no moisture to dry. It is also not nearly as water-resistant so it shouldn't really be used where the moisture level is high. If you used standard thinset from a bag I suspect there is too much additional moisture. You are safe to uncover and allow to set. I used a grey-green grout on the pot in the video. It may be difficult to find but as Bonnie mentioned natural grey would be nice I usually error on the side of darker grout rather than light.
