In this video Julie Weilbacher discusses a thorough checklist of 27 things to consider when planning and starting a mosaic project. Items discussed include mosaic design, substrates, environmental factors, mosaic display, materials, adhesive, grout, and timeline. This checklist will help guide you in creating a mosaic that will withstand time and the environment. Julie also discusses how she started in mosaic, including the mistakes made and how she got to the point of overwhelm. She offers advice and solutions to help you avoid all of that as well as how to save you time and money when just starting in mosaic. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout the video.
