- Ep. 100 KICKING OFF A COMMUNITY MOSAIC PROJECT, Finishing the Sunflowers & Starting a Sunflower Commission
I show how the Commemorative Community Mosaic Project for The Art Place is transferred to the substrate with a projector, then straightened up with a t-square and ruler. I set up the project outside and spent about 90 minutes working with the public celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the facility.
I dive deep into how I actually approach cutting pieces for the sky. I cut the glass down with a scoring tool and running pliers. Then I take the shapes and scrap shapes to my workbench and nip pieces to fit. I sometimes use a dry erase marker to mark the glass where I should break it. Or a eyeball it! Lastly, when the pieces get tight and need more precision, I can use clear shelf paper to trace a shape. Then I stick that on the glass and score through the plastic to achieve the shape. I often cut glass a bit on the big side and nip it down to fit. For this whole process, the streakiness on the glass must be horizontal in general.
BONUS: Druzy shopping at Jowelry's Designs set up at Spruill Center for the Arts. Check them out online: www.jowelrysdesigns.com/
Then I transfer the design for the sunflower commission, add Apoxie Sculpt in natural and begin by placing the bronze colored druzy. Then I start laying the beads, making sure they are securely pressed into the Apoxie. My client has requested brown and orange for the center. After it sets up a bit I lay in the larger beads ringing the center area.
Lastly, there is a final push to finish the background sky on the big sunflower project!!! Lots of cutting and nipping those last bits of glass. WHEW! (That only took me 8 weeks!)

The first video I have watched that clicked with me. Never have see Epoxy Sculpt used for mosaics. Nice.
Awesome, thank you!
Totally fabulous sun flower mosaic, using the adhesive plastic works so well, l sometimes do the same thing if l have trouble with a shape of tess, works a treat. 😊
Thanks so much, Peter. 😊Sometimes I cut the shape out of the plastic and score around it so I can apply less pressure.
Absolutely gorgeous work❤️ I can’t wait for the big sunflowers to be grouted. Will you use different color grouts in that piece? If yes maybe in the grouting video you can tell how you go about picking the grout color. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks to mosaics!😁
Yes, absolutely. A couple colors for sure.
Wonderful video!! So interesting! Thanks for sharing how you did the sky, very helpful. Oh my goodness, the sunflowers are stunning! What color grout? Can’t wait to see it!
I’m trying to do a sunset, think I’m going to try those cuts. And thanks for the tip of using contact paper-definitely will try that! Thanks so much for sharing with us! 😁♥️
