A tiny tip from Ellen Blakeley: break tempered easily by putting a flat rock under one corner and hit with a hammer on that corner. It’s like your elbow, exposed and vulnerable.

5:47 Crack the islands with the back side of your tweezers.
5:54 MAC Glue is very "runny", a little goes a long way.
6:13 You must clean up MAC or silicone BEFORE grouting, scraping with a straight edge razor works best.

I love watching your videos. They literally make me smile. You are so gifted!
Awesome as always
Thanks Bonnie! Love your instructional videos!!!!
Finally got around to watching this. Very nicely done, Bonnie!
Everytime I see broken glass on the side of the road from a recent car accident, I grab a brush and a baggie and take it home to use in some mosaic projects. I often paint the board with acrylics and then glue the glass to the surface. Love using 'found' materials.
Ahhh, a woman after my own heart, re-purpose! Keep creating.
Thanks so much for the shout out, Bonnie! I love your mandala!
Thank you Bonnie, i love your tips! These are great a very generous of you to provide for free! Thank you again and big hugs.
Happy to share the information! Thanks for being a follower!
Oh wow I am really liking the tempered glass. That's all I need is another item to add to my collection of things to Mosaic and tile with. LOL thanks a lot.
Love this - looks so fun!!
Bonnie this is so creative. I love it. I can see how I can use it with my collages. Cool. I also love your Mandala!
Awesome 🙏
Great informative tutorial. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for being a fan.
Really cool! This is one technique I haven't tried. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I like this idea. Thx for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing
que bello trabajo!! me encantó!!!
Obrigado por ser um fã!!
thank you bonnie
Thank you for this video, I want to put pictures of my grandchildren in a tempered glass piece as a gift for my daughter. You said in the video not to use inkjet printers to make copies of the original photos. Could you give me any advise of what paper and printer is best to use so that the photocopies will not fade? Thank for sharing your knowledge!
Great question and a really good project for the purpose you have. I take my images to a copy center, like Fed Ex, Staples, Office Depot - or a place that makes copies as a small business. A place with a good laser copier. Sometimes I take on a jump drive other times I take the actual photos, I use the self-service copier. You can then also play with the sizes, depending on the size of your artwork some images may be better smaller others larger, and using self-serve won't break the bank. Fun project!!
Only recently found your channel. Your mosaics are quite beautiful. Can you give me any tips for adding broken mirror to a dresser? Thank You!
Thanks for being a fan. Honestly I do not do a lot of work incorporating mirror - you have be careful with mirror, which is clear glass with silver on the back, that silver will patina and be eaten if you do not "seal" the mirror with a product called "mirror sealant". I discuss using mirror in a chapter in my book "Guide to Mosaic Technique" by Bonnie Fitzgerald. Good luck!
Great video. As a general rule how small do you break your island pieces of toughened glass when working on a larger mosaic?
Great question; it really depends on the look you are going after. On some works, I completely break apart the islands, especially if I plan to grout. But that is just my aesthetic. Consider making a few quick test pieces, small, use 4 x 4 tiles as a substrate, try a few different ways, and then grout some vs not grout and see what you prefer. Keep creating!
What adhesive do you use for outdoor mosaics?
I am so glad that I found your channel! I can't wait to watch all your videos.
Thank you! Happy to have you. Keep creating. Bonnie
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just reviewing this great video. I have a question using an example in your video and my own example.
*At the end of the video you say Silvia Whiting mosaics directly onto the morter. The example shows what I think is a coloured piece of toughened glass with a small amount of light jade paint on the glass. If the morter is going to eat away the paint how long would you expect that to take for the mosaic to be compromised?
*In a perfect would you should use a neutral cure adhesive, if you use painted glass on a cement ball, then attach with cement based adhesive how long would you expect before you see the cement based adhesives effect the paint. Would the glass eventually fall off or would the paint just discolour? Any idea on timeframe for this to occur?
I am pretty sure Sylvia did not paint her glass, but rather tinted the mortar (see the video in the channel about coloring grout and thin-set), maybe part was a pale green and the other white. Then again she was a pretty innovative thinker and I am not exactly sure. Sadly she passed away 2 years ago (I miss her!), so I can not ask. I know other artists who have applied the TG to painted surfaces, then used a silicone or some sort of clear adhesive so thin set does not eat away at the paint. So many variables, from paint quality to the exact mixture of thin sets, it is impossible to say how long until or if a failure will occur. Really not possible to give a definitive answer. Good luck!
@@MakeitMosaics Thankyou for the reply, I'm sorry you lost your friend ⚘ Thank you for all yor wonderful videos. 🧚♀️
Love this. Is Mylar made from plastic? I’m in the UK and struggling to source it. Thank you.
Mylar is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET), in our example here we use it for its reflective quality. Party decoration stores may have in some form. Think glitz!
Wonderful video! I am debating whether to use TG with plywood circles or circles cut out of Go Board (similar to Wedi). The circles will be 12" diameter. I will be combining TG and my handmade ceramic tiles. Since TG is heavy will the wedi washers and D rings be strong enough to hold the weight?
12" is not very large, and if you use Go Board, it won't be terribly heavy. Another thought is a cleat system; an advantage to that is the piece hangs pretty flush to the wall. Check out this video, which will provide some insights - Wedi and lightweight substrates: ua-cam.com/video/oKaVqfqS3sc/v-deo.htmlsi=hpkAGD4JihftS4wm
Thank you Bonnie. I am going with the Go Board and this time will use the double washer method, one on front and one on back. I will be going up to 13" or a bit larger. I tend to be a worry wort about hanging systems and weight. I know about the French cleats but have yet to use them. @@MakeitMosaics
Will you send me a photo when done? I love seeing what folks are working on. bonnie@maverickmosaics.com. GOOD LUCK! @@OGoldin
Any trick to keeping glitter and small, light bits in place before you add the glass? Would a spray adhesive or hairspray work?
I usually put a little Weldbond in spots to grab the glitter and a little extra on the mylar, but it talks back!
I just found your website and this tutorial.... the edges of the tempered glass are too sharp?
Edges of tempered glass are not all that sharp, a consequence of the thermal "tempering" is when the sheet breaks it is meant to shatter somewhat "safely". For me those edges are more about aesthetics. Good question.
Now that Mac glue is a challenge to find, what do you recommend in it’s place? When is it appropriate to use silicone?
You can use Weldbond, it eventually dries clear. I typically use silicone for those larger pieces of glass like what is demonstrated in the video, for tiny bits I find it difficult to work cleanly with silicone.
@@MakeitMosaics Thanks so much!!
Often my collages use fairly thick paper (watercolor paper, sometimes layered). Is there a problem making a tempered glass mosaic when your collage layer is fairly thick?
After a working session of putting the tempered glass on top of collage, put some weight on it, may a coffee table book, something to help ensure the substrate-papers-glass all make good contact. Let sit overnight, and give the adhesives a good time to cure. Nice to know you are creating, it must mean you are fully re-settled!
What about using transparent stained glass and crushed glass on tempered glass?
Combining materials can result in countless unique results. Using stained glass would be very much same process as seen in video using clear glass. Not sure what you mean by crushed glass. But have fun with it, keep creating!!
Is your larger piece of clear glass that is covering the picture also 3/16 inch? If so, can you tell me where to buy it? I am having a hard time finding that thickness of plain glass.
I mix the thicknesses of glass, even if I grout (feather the grout between the thicknesses, cutting 3/16" glass difficult. Great question.
@@MakeitMosaics Thank you so much. 😊
@@kimberlya.6795 Keep creating!!
Any advice for using a smoky colored tempered glass?
Would do a small test or prototype before committing to larger project so you are sure how the smoke tone will work within context of your project.
@@MakeitMosaics okay that was what I was planning on doing. I just wondered if you had any experience in working with it.
@@KMF3 Not really, I've used some that was kind of greenish.
Is it possible to colour tempered glass?
Good question, never tried. I suppose you could paint with paint especially designed for glass. good luck! Thanks for being a fan. BF
Could you use alcohol inks?
@@tammyhiller1821 I've seen videos on how to use alcohol inks to stain tempered glass. However, the alcohol inks fade over time (how long I don't know) sojh the video said to coat the glass with Wellbond after you color the glass to keep it from fading.
