Thanks for clearing the air on this topic. I'm learning and have felt that "cheating" feeling.

[@ct7422]

Your hair looks great!! ❤

[@janineking1433]

Thankyou Julie, for your thoughts on this matter.I too felt guilty using these pre made tesserae. It clears the air so to speak.

[@elenawright8986]

Thank you! I cut and fuse glass for my mosaics but love using ceramic tiles from like Wits End.
