Am a first timer but ambitiously planning to beautify a dull wall in my apartment parking and am super inspired by your design. I m goin to COPY it sort of. 😘
@@LouAnnBagnall Thanks for your encouragement. It might be some time before I even get around to it. Am working full time. Retiring on 31st July. Shall take up after that. And would definitely share on You Tube so you can see. Thank You sooo much. 🙏🙏🙏
Well here I am Lou Anne (with an E) looking for inspiration for an outdoor mosaic wall and I find a Lou Ann and this beautiful work! 🤩😍 God's continued blessings to you! 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words Nina. If you want the wall to last clean it well first, I recommend using the best quality thinset mortar for out side in the weather. You can buy tools to cut the tile, but I enjoy breaking them with a hammer and making a design also. Let me know if you have questions. I am still continuing this wall and you can see more mosaic videos
This is a real labour of love. I really like how you show that it's a time consuming project, can't be done in a day. I've been wanting to do something like this to add some pop of colour in my garden. I'm thinking I'll do the stair risers going to the top section of my garden, so that I'm working in manageable chunks. I just can't decide if I want it to be one continuous image/theme, or just to see what happens as I go, and let it be colourful and chaotic!
Thank you so much for you kind encouragement... this section took about 2- 3 months working 2 days a week with lots of help.. the full wall shown in the linked videos, it actually was a process of 4 years... with some months break in between the sections.. I don't actually know how long it took.. but a long time
@rn9119 Thank you for your kind encouragement... Yes.. it did take a long time , i did it in 4 sections, about 1-3 days a week, and at times a few months in between... and i had alot of help from time to time... but the whole process was 4 years!! Don't be discouraged with the long process... in the end it is a unique art form that could last for decades if done right... the ancient ones are hundreds of years old !!
Awesome 👏 I’m doing my shower floor and a strip down the wall but only using the round glass cabochons, it’s my first time so praying it looks ok 👍 thank you for showing me tile mosaics and how and what you stick them on with 😁 blessings on your church garden from QLD Australia, Terry 😘❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️
Lou Ann Bagnall hello Lou Ann 😁 because iv not long had a knee and hip replacement I cannot get on and off the floor ugh !!! So what iv done is draw my design on butchers paper which I lay on the kitchen table, I then covered it with flyscreen wire & I have glued my coloured glass things onto that, I’m unsure if this will work but I’m doing it lol 😂... Next I’m going to do something with tile your wall has inspired me ❤️ I told my husband if there are only 2 cups, 2 plates & 2 bowls in the draw I’m hard at it somewhere haha 😂... I’m going to find you on Facebook as I’m sure you have more to see 😁 😘❤️❤️❤️
@@terry_kathryn yes that's one way to do it. then have some one put all your thinset mortar on the shower floor and press it down and grout it with the thinset
Lou Ann Bagnall Iv done the top part of my shower wall 😁 my husband will do the bottom tomorrow and then I'll grout 😁 it's looking pretty good 😁 thank you for your knowledge your amazing 😍😘♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼♥️
Wonderful creation,thankyou for showing the process,and all those who participated. I am a painter, but have recently discovered that there is something about the fractal nature of mosaics which really inspires me. I have done my first pebble mosaic,and was surprisingly pleased with how it came out. Doing mosaics on a wall is a new challenge i would like to learn,so thankyou for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to more of your videos. Best wishes from Devon. God bless.
@WildWoodlandsSW What a wonderful encouragement to me . Thank you ... i have linked other videos of this mosaic in the description following this video. It grew longer and longer!! I finished it a while ago.
Wow!! Thank you so much for your really great encouragement. I have continued this wall , about 3 times the length of this first section... please see my later videos

@@LouAnnBagnall I am actually in the process of building a Spanish plunge pool for my Labrador and I think I may have to pinch your idea if that is okay? It’s really cheerful.And you’re welcome it’s the best one I’ve seen on here by some way you have quite the talent for it.
@@potnoodledad9990 oh please go ahead and copy the design. Finding the tile may be a challenge.. just make sure the cement wall is clean first of all and you use enough thin set mortar.. It's alot of work .. you want it to last
@@LouAnnBagnall great advice thank you.I am actually struggling to get the colourful tile I need I have white black cream and brown which a lovely person gave me,I shall keep trying and looking thanks for the reply.
@@potnoodledad9990 first try small tile stores.. ask if they have old left over pieces of tile in a storage room. Try a 2nd hand store... you may also cut old plates to add color. Or try a home improvement store. May have to order it
Just wondering, I did not see you draw any design on your wall prior to applying the flowers or anything you did. That is what really amazed me. I assume this was not your first project? So very beautiful. Labor of love. Thanks for the share.
Thank you for your kind encouragement Pauline. I did draw in the tree and the sun... but yes I just applied to flowers and everything else. I am still continuing this mosaic, it became more detailed... see my later videos. Thank you
So sorry. I am just seeing your message David I got the pen at a ceramic shop here in Istanbul . I must have baked it at low heat like an hour i think. I did it about 4 years ago.. the signature is still perfect... even outside in the weather.
Thank you for asking and your kind comments. No..its an unpainted cement wall. I did wash it with bleach water to make sure there wasn't any mold.. the thinset mortar has to adhere well to the porus cement wall, so it sticks for some decades hopefully .not one piece has come loose in several years
Thank you for your kind words. I continued this wall and did it all. You are right ! years before this I needed cortisone shots in both my thumbs and wore a brace for a years . Thank God never a problem in 10 years. My hands are very strong from doing this.But I only work about 4 hours at a time now. And I'll be 65 years old as well. Thanks alot for your concerns
@@LouAnnBagnall you’re 65 years young , your lively spirit is very well reflected in your beautiful art work , travel selections and food , for many healthy years and strong hands 🙌, 😊
Thanks for watching. Good question? It would depend what the stucco is made of and how thick the texture is, i guess. If it's cement, you could use thin-set mortar to adhere the tile. If it's made of plaster I would try plaster or siliconized mastic.
Thank you for watching.. yes. Finding the tile can be quite challenging. This was done in Istanbul and there is a tiny shop with so many peices of beautiful old colored tile that I usually buy peice by piece. Incould not do these mosaics without this shop!! In the states you may have to order it online and buy it by the box.. the other option which I did is ask tile shops to see their depot, or back room for outdated tile or tile scraps. Or 2nd hand shops. Also old plates .and colored glass can be used. But I love that Toto Ceramic tile shop. Hope you find some

Thank you Liz for asking. I used a type of "cement" morter as I mentioned, it's kalekum in Turkish, or called thinset in the US. I used the highest more expensive grade . It's what is used to tile floors. Because this is for an out door project, and I want it to last. I also grouted with it as well. I have projects outside that are still fine after 10 years.
@@faithie911 Hi there. Sorry the late reply. I thought it was clear in the video. Several times I am shown mixing the thin-set mortar I did simply grout it as i went along. I did a section .Then i filled it in with the mortar.i used the mortar also to adhere the pieces and also used it to grout. It's outside in the snow, rain, heat .One section is 4 years old, not a single bit of deterioration.
Good point..it's faded and become grayed over the years and not as much of an eyesore now. I am still adding to this wall . So l'll look next time. Thanks for watching
This is beautiful! May you be forever blessed!
Thank you soooo much. What an encouraging comment! Be blessed as well

What type of "special pen" was used for your signature? And how long was it oven-baked? I'm finishing a wall mosaic and I like the signature idea.

what did you use to stick the pieces on to the cement?
Thanks for asking ..for an out door mosaic to last for years in the weather i used the best quality thin set mortar and also grouted with it.
Can you give me a specific brand?
i am in Istanbul now, but in the states you can get VersaBond from Home depot.
Can you mosaic on stucco?
