I am so happy to hear you are finding motivation and inspiration with us! We just designed 8 mosaic kits, they are available at witsendmosaic.com, they too may help you get back to the business of "play". Thanks for being a fan.
I am guessing you mean the ring saw. There are a few different manufacturers, it is the sort of thing you may also find used. It is commonly used by stained glass artists. This is a good brand and the cheapest on the market new amzn.to/3MNMMnx
Hi Bonnie, I'm just starting out with mosaics and I'd like to make a seaglass mosaic window. I don't really want to glue my pieces onto anything (glass in a frame or anything else) because one side is always "ugly" if you do that. I was planning on placing my seaglass in a silicone mold and then filling it with something that can glue it together. I'd like the material to look a bit like stone when it's dried (so I can't use resin) but I'm not sure if there's anything out there that will be strong enough to hold everything together? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
You have to jump off and try! I show you substrate options, which I discuss at length in other videos. Demonstrated is back buttering the pieces, ways to cut, talk about adhesive options and there are examples of artworks made. I teach the technique - but in the Washington DC metro, which may not be convenient for you. - but look at www.maverickmosaicswebsite.com (workshops), you will see even more student works. Follow your instincts and do the work. There are countless resources on the internet to further guide you.
Bonnie, thank you for these videos! They would really be taken to the next level with some sound production improvements though. Either a lapel microphone or a boom mic situated off camera would do wonders for sound quality and make them much easier to follow without using captions.
We have many folks who help with production, and I happily include their creative ideas, including their editorial video and audio choices. I appreciate your candid voice, I also must go to bat for the hard-working people making this channel available at no charge. This video has very little music. Thank you for watching.
I did my 1st mailbox Mosaic, and I LOVE it!!! It puts a smile on my face every time I check my mail. I LOVE Mosaic works of art 🥰
It is indeed an addiction! Keep creating.
Oh please tell me what a mail box mosaic is!!!!

how do you cut in shapes the hardy back substrate? will a jigsaw work? which jigsaw? there are so many. Thanks
Yes we just used a jigsaw, nothing fancy, but with a diamond edge blade, available at Home Depot/Lowes.

The audio situation is frustrating, I do the editing myself iMovie. I did use a lapel microphone, going to work it more! Thanks for being a fan!
Audio is fine for me!
For me too🥰
I think the video info is great, however I can't tolerate the music.
