Glass Mosaic Tile Art: Always Properly Plan Your Mosaic
Monday, September 22nd, 2008Always plan your mosaic before buying, cutting, or gluing anything.
Making wonderful glass mosaic tile art is easy! Let me show you how.
Always plan your mosaic project before buying, cutting, or gluing anything. Don’t try to be spontaneous (your mosaic will suffer if you do). Start by answering a few general questions: Why am I creating this particular piece, what’s its purpose? Is there ample room to display it and can the wall safely support a heavy mosaic? What kind of light will shine on it? What theme is your focal point? What feelings do you hope to evoke with the piece? What art style (e.g., traditional, abstract, cubism, etc.) do you want and will it complement the style of the room in which it is displayed?

Sand
casting is the most ancient form of metal casting and has been around since at
least Ancient Egypt. Many metal casters prefer using sand casting over many of
the other forms of processes because it’s cheap and the sand used is readily
available.
Many experienced metal casters will continue to use sand casting even though
their abilities and resources allow them to use the other metal casting methods
like Lost Wax Casting or Investment Casting. Sand casting involves less
material and less effort than the other casting methods. Sand casting is a
great way for new casters to get into the trade.
