Mosaic Tile Guide – The Go-to Site for all Things Mosaic

I’ve got a mosaic class coming up and I’ve been searching around the internet looking for sources of information I can provide my students to expand their knowledge. I also pass alot of this information onto my readers here. Today we’re going to Mosaic Tile Guide. They have more information than you need to know about mosaics. Supplies, how-to’s, a great gallery page for inspiration…a forum where you can talk to other mosaic artists, so you can find out any answers that may crop up in your mosaic pursuits.

Today I was at a fund raiser for my good friend Leigh Adams, an extraordinary mosaic artist and saw the final piece she made for the Howeeduzzit Gallery. It was glass on glass mosaic and it also lights up. I’ll be posting a tutorial about this sign in the upcoming days. And if you have any other questions about mosaic you can always go back to Mosaic Tile Guide.

There’s not much to say about Etsy seller Knotty yites other than if you like pop culture cross stitch patterns this is the place for you. It’s pretty much all they do, and there’s a wide range of fandoms and characters represented.

I first learned about this shop when I was doing Only Murders in the Building cross stitch patterns, and if you like that one the rest of their patterns are similar in vibe. They feature little characters in a lineup, sometimes labeled with the name of the show/movie they are from or with other text.

There’s everything from She-Ra to Ghostbusters, Lost to Xena, Game of Thrones to the MCU. While lots of the designs only cover a few characters, there are some larger ones as well.

Like this “space superhero” alphabet full of characters (and one spaceship!) from the Star Wars universe. The full design is 196 by 272 stitches and uses 81-86 colors (the range being because there are actually two alphabets with some different characters to choose from, or mix and match your favorites).

If you’ve ever wanted to stitch up Katniss and the mockingjay pin, an homage to Cersei Lannister or Jem and the Holograms, this shop has got you covered. Or you can try the X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or characters from the video game Mass Effect.

Like I said, there’s a wide variety.

If this sounds like the kind of shop you would like, check out all the options at Knotty Bytes. I’d love to hear if you make something from this shop (or if you have already!).

Know a designer who should be in the spotlight? Or are you a designer who wants to share your store? Leave a comment or fill out the form you get when you click on “suggest a craft” at the top of the page.
