I’m embracing mosaic work some much more in my little glass world. I’m preparing for re-doing my bathroom and I plan creating some cool tile work to go with the glass sink I made. So I wander around the web looking for inspiration and information. Isn’t that what it’s for.I found this web site of JMD Designs, based in New Zealand and she’s got a whole page of tips as well as tutorials for mosaic work. Very cool stuff. Now she does state that the products she’s talking about are available in New zealand but I’m sure you can find the equivalent in your neck of the woods.
