The art of Mosaic was believed to be first used in the Mesopotamian area around the 3rd-century BC. It made its way across ancient civilizations and over thousands of years. But what exactly is Mosaic? Is it a type of art that a beginner can do? Can any material be made into a Mosaic? We've […]

This post is all about making mosaics with kids, my 'how- to', tips & safety. I find mosaic a wonderful craft to do with kids as there's not a lot of skill needed to make a finished product that kids can be proud of, so once you have everything you need you can just jump in and get started. They're also using more specialised materials, things like tiles and grout, which adults use for proper adult jobs, so it can make them feel very clever indeed! For basic mosaic you don't need a lot of fancy equipment or supplies, and most can be found at the local hardware store. We buy a lot of our tiles online here in Australia from The Mosaic Store, but hardware stores sometimes have craft sections with tiles, then there's other craft stores, $2 shops, and actual tile shops that usually sell the lovely glass tesserae. Some beautiful millefiori stars from The Mosaic Store, glass pebbles from the garden section of our local hardware store The tesserae is probably the easiest to start with as it's easy to cut with a pair of tile nippers; and smaller decorative tiles that don't need to be cut. Supplies needed: - Various tiles - Terracotta plant base - Outdoor PVA glue - Outdoor tile adhesive - Outdoor grout in your choice of colour Tools & other items: - Tile nippers - Homemade plastic scrapers cut from empty containers - Rags - Soft scrubbing brush - Latex gloves (grown up size and kid size) - Eye protection (for when you're nipping tiles) - Paintbrush for brushing on PVA Tile nippers, glass tesserae, other smaller mosaic tiles, plastic scrapers Safety tip: Make sure kids are wearing shoes as little shards of tile can be sharp! Starting out with something like a terracotta plant base is fantastic. The surface is flat so you won't have tiles trying to glue against gravity, and the edge provides a physical border to keep their tiles within a neat shape. We coat our terracotta pieces first with outdoor PVA wood glue and leave to dry. Then, we use an outdoor tile adhesive. The one I have is cement based. As long as you get an outdoor tile adhesive you should be fine. I like to mix this away from kids as I don't want them breathing in any cement dust. I just use an old plastic container and the wrong end of a flat paint brush to mix. Once the adhesive is mixed it's not an inhalation risk anymore. Spread a layer of adhesive down for them around 2-3mm thick (1/16"). We keep our tiles organised by colour I nip tesserae into smaller pieces, and then they just use some of the smaller shaped tiles as they are. You nip by placing the nips at the edge of a tile while holding the tile with your other hand. Press down and it will break into two. Some tiles break nice and evenly, others may not. Practise with a few. Wear your eye protection and do this away from kids so that little bits of broken tile don't fly towards them. They can then glue their tiles onto their terracotta base. I have found some kid sized latex gloves in our local supermarket which have been perfect for protecting little hands from the adhesive. Try and get them not to butt tiles hard against one another so remind them to leave a little gap. I always explain to kids that making mosaics is kind of like doing a puzzle; you just find where a piece seems to fit and place it in. Another thing is we don't stack tiles on top of each other. This may seem obvious but to a kids fresh mind, it's not! I love their boundless ideas. Try also to get them to not leave big open spaces. Again, I'm not too concerned, but for the longevity of the piece, it's best not to leave big gaps between tiles. So: - leave a little gap - don't butt tiles hard against one another, - place tiles side by side, not on top of each other. Kids also sometimes get the right and wrong side of the tesserae mixed up. The bumpy side is the wrong side, the smooth side is the right side. Have a chat to them first and explain and show them this. You may have to keep reminding them! Some will still keep mixing them up, but it doesn't matter too much. Smooth side is the right side! When they are happy with their arrangement it's time to leave it to dry for as long as the adhesive's instructions. *Sometimes kids get a bit messy with the adhesive. It helps to go back when the adhesive is dry but not rock-hard and scrape a bit of the excess adhesive off the top of some tiles and between them if there's too much. Scraping some excess adhesive away with a piece of tile (a nail could also work) Then, we grout! Again, I mix it up to the consistency of thick cream away from kids so they don't breathe the dust. Then we use little homemade plastic scrapers (cut from plastic containers) to spread the grout on. This part is messy and therefore fun! Plop it on and scrape it all around to make sure you fill all the gaps between the tiles. Wear gloves for this bit. Once it's done and it looks like it's starting to dry off a bit you can take a soft scrubbing brush and start to scrape the excess grout off the front of the tiles. (We also have a stiff paintbrush here that did the job on a previous project too.) Then use a dry cloth to polish. If there's any staining on the sides of the dish that you don't want, wipe that away with a wet cloth. And then you're done! Let it dry before you put into the great outdoors. It's so satisfying creating something that will last and pretties up the garden. Proud creators In situ :) And once you've mastered the basic skills you could progress onto other items such as plant pots or picture frames. Miss S with her mosaic plant pot I hope you enjoyed the mosaic how-to & tips from me. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments and I will get back to you, and be sure to let me know if you try mosaicing with kids! Jules :)

Getting your loved ones under the same roof for the Christmas 2019 holidays? It’s the perfect time to take action! This year, get everyone together for some DIY Christmas 2019 projects. You’ll laugh, you’ll have fun, and we’re positive you’ll have enough cool photos to share on Instagram. What makes a good group DIY project? Image Source: Pinterest. If you’re looking for ideas that will keep everyone involved, they should: Have a goal: By the end, everyone should see a finished product. Include all skill levels: Make sure some tasks are easy enough for small fingers or limited abilities. Have all the materials on hand: There’s nothing worse than stopping the fun for missing pieces! Moreover, the Christmas spirit is all about bringing people together, making new memories, and celebrating how much we appreciate each other. So, let’s get you started on some ideas to spice up your holidays! Homemade Holiday Magic Image Source: Pinterest. Holiday-Themed mosaic projects are a perfect way to send everybody home with a treasure that they can use each year. Definitely, the best ones are not too difficult and the completed piece is relatively small. Ideally, it will be small enough to use as a Christmas decoration and pack-able in a suitcase for the trip home. Image Source: Pinterest. For any of these DIY Christmas 2019 decorations, you’ll want a selection of mosaic tiles and some wood cut-outs to use as the base for your projects. Everyone can create coasters that are fun and durable. First, use a simple graphic from a coloring book to trace on each one. Second, pre-cut squares are easy to find. Third, let everyone fill in the outlines with tiles. Finally, when they’re dry, apply cork to the back. As a result, you’ll have a coaster than can handle everything from cider to hot chocolate! Image Source: Pinterest. Now, using a pre-made wooden shape can open up a world of possibilities for tree ornaments. Hand out pencils for anyone ready to sketch their own design on the wood, or look for graphics online. This type of mosaic art creates amazing results. Any type of holiday icon is fair game, from Santa to Christmas trees that look like iced gingerbread. Image Source: Pinterest. Image Source: Pinterest. Don’t forget to try out some mosaic patterns on plain ornaments. Use smaller tile pieces that will fit more easily on the rounded surface. Image Source: Pinterest. Likewise, small wall hangings are also memorable and easy to pack in a suitcase! Be sure to add the date and signature on the back of your special mosaic art when you’re done. Image Source: Pinterest. On the other hand, younger members of the family can enjoy a simpler mosaic project with an outlined Christmas tree and an assortment of tiles. That’s to say, it’s a good way to keep them absorbed for an extended period. Just create the outline with Washi tape, and let them have fun filling it in. Image Source: Pinterest. Collaborate for Memorable Gatherings Image Source: Pinterest. Larger mosaic art group projects don’t have to be strictly about the holidays. To clarify, planning out the activity can involve a design you’ve already decided on in advance, or unfold more spontaneously. For example, if not everyone can make it to your holiday gathering, why not surprise them with the gift of a mosaic design that everyone has created as a collaboration? Even the youngest members of your group can participate by placing tiles into a piece. Image Source: Pinterest. Also, a custom mosaic Celtic coat of arms is a wonderful gift to present the head of the family or someone who will be getting married soon. Actually. did you know that Mozaico can create mosaic kits from your design? Custom Celtic Coat of Arm made by Mozaico. How about a piece of mosaic wall art that represents a beloved family pet like this Clown Dog Mosaic Art? Clown Dog Mosaic Art made by Mozaico. Most importantly, we can turn any photo into a handsome custom mosaic. With these kits, everyone can gather around and join in the fun of creating the special design. Another way to bring everyone together is by creating a mural in a garden or outdoor space. It’s easy for this to turn into a tradition at future family gatherings. Encourage your family members to bring new pieces on their visits to continue adding memories to your mural. Each part of your family can continue the tradition in their own homes. So, everyone will create something that will last through generations. Image Source: Pinterest. Moreover, consider decorating an outdoor tabletop for use in warmer months. Firstly, gather everyone around, sketch out a design. Then apply the tiles. There’s no need to fret about getting everything just right. Just enjoy the group project, and be sure to photograph everyone together with the end result. Image Source: Pinterest. Send Everyone Home With Something Joyful For projects that will be used long past the holidays, check out resources like Pinterest for DIY mosaic art ideas. As a matter of fact, every idea we found for this week’s blog came from Pinterest! As lovely as the Christmas holidays are, they do fall during the gloomiest part of the year. Send everyone home with a happy reminder of sunny days and good times to come with some of these ideas. Just like our others, there is room for everyone to participate. Set up a work area, gather round the table, and watch the happiness of group activities unfold! Stepping stones are the way to allow even the tiniest members of your gathering to join in. (Not to mention the adorable results!) Use their little hand-prints and footprints as the centerpiece of a simple mosaic design. They can even place simple glass marble pieces and add their name if they’re old enough. Image Source: Pinterest. Personalized projects are always popular. These are easy to make with die-cut numbers and letters that are easily available at arts and crafts retailers. If you’re planning this activity, it’s probably best to check with everyone in advance about what they’d like to make. This way, you’ll have the appropriate numerals and letters in the right amounts! For example, these house numbers are fantastic DIY glass mosaic projects. They can be mounted on a plaque or directly onto a wall back at home. Image Source: Pinterest. For a variation on this idea, create the design directly on the plaque (again, these are easy to find at crafts stores). Trace out the outline of the house number first, then fill in the shape with individual tiles. Subsequently, the flower pots and teacups are a unique touch. Image Source: Pinterest. It’s human nature to enjoy seeing your name or initials on something. So, we’ve found some ideas that will work for everyone, no matter what their individual tastes or skill level with mosaic patterns. Image Source: Pinterest. These letters don’t require any special trimming of the individual tiles. They’ve been applied on a diagonal. And the imperfections in how they’ve been placed just adds to the charm. Image Source: Pinterest. This style of mosaic design is quite personal. Use small items and colors that are meaningful. For example, some ideas for objects are charms, small toys, buttons, or similar small tokens. Image Source: Pinterest. A family name is deeply meaningful. Hence, this type of plaque is a wonderful piece of mosaic art to display at the front door. Moreover, for ideas on the type of lettering to use, look on Pinterest or the internet for font designs. Image Source: Pinterest. This Christmas 2019, don’t lose parts of your group to video games or the TV. However, get them together for some memory-making, art-creating fun! It’s definitely a tradition that will only keep growing from year to year. What do you think your family would enjoy creating together? What type of Christmas decorations would they use the most? What would you like to make for yourself? Let us know in the comments!

This month the Ladysmiths met to see Bodil do a seed bead mosaic demo: Here she is demonstrating it's finer points... And here is an instruction sheet if you couldn't make it to the meeting!! Cindy brought her mosaic- this one, however, is not done with seed beads but with cut 'strings' of polymer clay in the technique that Cynthia Toops is known for. Cindy took a class from her a few years ago. Isn't it AMAZING! Here's Cynthia Toops' website: http://www.cdbeads.biz/ We are lining up for our potluck lunch! Thanks to Ellen K., Sherry C., Cindy, Vicki, Sonia, Sharon, Brenda, Ann and Bodil (for hosting!) and me, Dana- for coming!! A bonus was to see the first 'print' from Cindy's new 3-D printer!! Our resident CAD mistress, she designed this earring and now the world is her oyster in terms of what she can create! Can't wait to see where this journey takes her! See you all next time!

Below is a series of flowers that I've created as stained glass mosaics. All of the designs were hand drawn by me for this specific project. All of the glass in each mosaic is completely hand cut by me with basic hand tools: the pencil grip glass scoring tool, the running pliers, the flathead tile nippers and the wheeled nippers. Visit my open facebook page "Kasia Mosaics" to see lots more up to date process shots as well as new projects and news about my Online Stained Glass Mosaic Classes which are available for streaming world-wide - hope you take a look and enjoy! Sunflower, stained glass mosaic, 11"x11" (12"x12" framed), 2013 ~SOLD Watch the video below if you are interested in learning more about stained glass mosaics. It is a preview of my Online Stained Glass Mosaic Flower Class which is ideal for complete beginners as well as intermediate mosaic students. The Online Class comes with 12+ flower templates that can be used for the class projects. It covers my mosaic process from start to finish, covering every step of the way. Everything is documented via video tutorials that are supplemented with additional photos and written notes. The students in the class are invited to a private facebook group page where they can ask for advice and feedback on their work as well as interact with other students and to share their progress as well as finished projects. Above are the rough sketches I created for the mosaics. Here is a shot of the sunflower mosaic in progress. Its hard to choose which flower from this series is my favorite, but if I had to choose, it might be the sunflower. Before choosing the color palette for this flower, I figured I'd do the classic sunflower with the brown center ... somehow when I started looking at my glass, the brown didn't make sense for this one, I liked the look of the less common greener center Here is a shot of the lotus in progress. The lotus is a recurring element in my work. I've been wanting to make a purple one for a long time now so here it is! Here is a shot of the rose in progress. I've always really loved roses but if I had to choose which one I love the most, it might be the orange one. Here is a shot of the Colorado columbine in progress. Through out the summer on various hikes here in the mountains of Colorado, I have seen these beautiful flowers along the trail and was inspired to create one of my own. Here is a shot of the zinnia in progress. Zinnia's are Kyle's favorite flower to plant in the garden. He is really the one who has brought it to my attention. Seeing how much he loves these flowers, I just had to include it in my series. I feel that every part of the flower lends itself perfectly to being recreated with a mosaic pattern. This flower was particularly fun to create and I plan to revisit it in a variety of colors in the future. Above you can see part of the grouting process. I grouted all the flowers at the same time. Seeing them all come alive at the same time was very rewarding. Here is an Instagram shot I took of the view from my studio window while finishing up my mosaic flower project. Part of Kyle's stair garden is seen framing the beautiful view of the trees I get to enjoy everyday. Though out the summer, we watched the flowers blossom and attract the humming birds - it really was a treat and it inspired this little series. In September I took this photo thinking about how beautiful the rainy day was and how it made the flowers really stand out. At that time, I had no idea how much rain we were going to get in Boulder - that was the beginning of the big flood before we had to evacuate from our home. I had to put my project on hold while we were displaced. Eventually we got to visit our home for a few hours at a time and I got to come back to glue the flowers on day and then a few days later we came back to grout. Despite all that we had to deal with as a result of this natural disaster, I had to do my best to complete my project and it felt really good to sneak in a few hours of studio time during the five weeks we've been away from our home.
