Thanks for creating such a useful filmette Helen! I'll certainly share this with my workshop participants 🧡🙏🏾🧡
Thanks Caroline! I think you get a little mention too 😀🌸
I enjoyed the confessions! Precision is not my goal. Enjoying the process is my goal and why work hard when you could work smart? Thanks for the video!
That's a good way of putting it! 😂
Thank you for sharing your confessions and techniques!! 💕💕🎶🎶😎😎
You are so welcome!
Thank you for all your videos! I bought your book as well! I hope to start my mosaic journey someday when I have time but for now I am just learning when I get a chance here and there with your videos. I am interested in making ancient style mosaics maybe with a modern touch but ancient looking
Thanks for this. That is exactly what I find myself drawn to. I think ancient mosaics are endlessly fascinating and if I can I find any excuse to immerse myself in them. 😍
love the background in these
Thank you! 😀🙏
Great ideas. I especially like the self adhesive metal tape that can be textured after applying. You solved the problem that's been on my mnd.
So glad it was helpful Patti! I love the tape too 😀😀
Thank you for such brilliant tutorials you have been a great help to me in just starting out. I love making the home made mesh substrates that you do. When i use these i prefer to do a subject but no background how would you grout around the edges of these?
You are so welcome Julie! If you are not mosaicking the background then I would use method number 4 in this video - basically apply a thin layer of cement based mortar/tile adhesive/thin set (= all words for the same thing) to cover the empty space.
Such a great tutorial! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Dear Helen, thank you so much for sharing your expertise! 😊 I would like to arrange a house number on Jackoboard and would like to protect the rims of the board using the glass fibre tape method. Should I then cover the back of the board with mortar as well in order to prevent the tape from coming off? I appreciate your help ❤
Yes, covering the back of the board with mortar would be a good idea if its going to be outside and exposed to the weather.
@@HelenMilesMosaicsThanks a lot. I'll try it out then 😊
Thanks so much. I have had trouble going the easy way on edges coming off when I used grout. The latex and adhesive looks much better.
Glad I could help! That's interesting that you have had the grout coming off. I should pay heed! 😀
Thanks for this and your other videos! I guess you would apply the lead edging when you have finished the mosaic?
Thanks, Ann
Yes, exactly, I put it on after making the mosaic and grouting. The lead tape doesnt stick to the edges if they are grouted/covered with adhesive.
Thanks!@@HelenMilesMosaics
Hi Helen, happy holidays! On method #4, is it required to add the 50/50 latex liquid, or can I use just water by itself?
Hi Rozy, you can use just water. Dont forget that if you live in a cold country the dried tile adhesive might get efflorescence on it - a salt bloom - and the latex will help you avoid that.
@@HelenMilesMosaics thank you for the explanation!
youre awesome... but is your camera trained to stay on your teeth? cos you sit really still and your. head kind of moves around your teeth, and now ive seen that i cant unsee it. i do enjoy your videos
Interesting observation! 😂
