I will show you the steps and basic tools to make a simple mosaic project that is easy to do, fun, and will give an otherwise sort of bland landscape that perfect pop of color.

    I find the bare hands honest and natural. I prefer bare hands but sometimes wear gloves (when my hands start getting cut and smashed, I have clumsy spells). Its definitely safer to wear gloves. There are tactile benefits to bare hands, you know "getting your hands dirty"

    thank you!! Definitely want to make these. You made it seem so simple. I live in Canada and concerned about how to create a base that won't heave during freezing and thawing. Really don't want the work of using rebar and cement to create the base path. Still not sure how to do it but thinking perhaps a simple layer of sand ( like you used) and then dozens of already made cement blocks and puzzle them all together. Love that you did it using the thin set mortar... love that you used equal parts sand and concrete for the grout. nice as well that I can start making these in the house while we are experiencing our - 30 - -40 weather here and then be ready for Spring. So excited to get started.

    Very clever and skilled work. Thought the sand would scratch the mirror but none visible. Same basic technique with adhesive and white grout would adhere random, square or round mirror pieces to a 12 to 15 inch foam ball to hang in a garden or open porch, suspended by a wire and ball bearing fishing swivel. Fun projects!

  • @Flatforkstudio

    Hi there! Sorry so late in seeing this. The thinset underneath tiles has an additive to it that is a little elastic. Harder to just buff off the tiles. The concrete powders up so nicely and will last for years!:) I hope that helps.

    @@Flatforkstudio hello Flatfork! I KNEW you and I were in the same general area (Austin/Temple). When I first saw this video I had never attempted a mosaic or any other type of creative art. I must say things have changed A LOT in the last year. I would LOVE to share pics with you but I can't do that on KZread. Maybe I'll search FlatforkStudio on FB. Or perhaps you know another way?

    The answer is yes they wod. Just make sure to use a good concrete mix to stick them down appropriate for your weather conditions up there. The hardware store should have all you need. Just tell them its for outdoor tile and they will get you the right stuff! :)

    Great video, thank you! Just a couple of questions. It looks like there is some sort of thin rail between the walk way rocks and pavers, to hold the loose rock in place? is it removed after install? If not, what do you suggest using, thin wood, metal, or maybe landscape plastic edging? Also, you used mirror in the mosaic, I've been told that the sun ruins the backing of mirrors, is that a myth? Thanks again for your wonderful tutorial, very well done and easy to follow.
