Just a tip for you: Contact paper is fairly inexpensive and much easier to use than strips of tape. They make clear and patterned. Using a brush instead of a putty knife works much better too. I wouldn't be sharing tips if I hadn't done this many, many times before myself. I'm just trying to save you time.

Fantastic, thanks very much for the tip! I've got some much wider tape of recent, so it only takes two strips, but I didn't know about contact paper, I'll get some.

Tom Burleigh's video brought me here and I am super excited to see how your channel goes. I love the idea of using found bits and bobs in art or craft projects. I have a small collection of sea glass, collected when visiting relatives that live near the coast. However, also I found 2 tiny pieces of pottery (over 2 visits mind you) and I started watching mudlarking videos as a way to scratch that pottery itch. I dabble in mosaics and I love the tiles you are making. I also love that each tile is a work of art in its own right, and then becomes transformative as a floor in your home. Make sure you put your favorite piece about 12 inches in front of the toilet, for maximum contemplative pleasure! Thank you so much for sharing.

In my next video I will show you all the massive variation in the shards and the mosaics they/I create. Not every tile has totally square pieces, when I found a piece i just couldn't bare to cut up, I used a few triangles to bring the grid back in line but I still like them even with the quirkiness. I hope you can use your sea glass to create a work of art too. Take care, James

Fantastic end result. Just a couple of observations; firstly not using safety gloves when you know you should is absolutely fine until you lose the end of a finger, better safe than sorry. Secondly if during the laying out process of the individual component pieces you decided which edge was the top of the slide you could orientate fragments with people/animals/buildings/flora accordingly. You will only notice this orientation when you are sat on the throne but just think of the pleasure it will give you at such times. I start as I began, fantastic end result and I take my hat off to you sir.

Very pretty! I am not a fan of the usual mosaic designs, too random with too much grout. Yours , though, appeal because of their regimented rows and square corners. To me, that successfully unites all the discrete shades of blue and the various motifs! Well done! Greetings from Florida!
@findcreate61744 жыл бұрын
Thanks sooo much for the kind comment and feedback. I didn't want too much of a random jumble of lines everywhere either, I've seen them before and it doesn't do it for me. However, there were a few pieces that I din't want to cut square for various reasons such as their genuine age or the writing on them or the fact that I get a lot of wastage making squares, so some tiles have regularities. Mostly they are grids as you will see in part 2 soon. Thanks again and great to comments from all over the world!! Take care

Beautiful. We don’t have these tiles readily available in the states to find but I’ve thought about doing this with my moms coffee cups. She’s passed away and she had collected coffee cups from all over the states. I just haven’t figured out how to do this with curved pieces......
@findcreate61744 жыл бұрын
Hi Misty, thanks for the comment. Curved pieces aren't good for what I've been doing. Maybe if the pieces are very small or you are using them to stick on something not flat like a large garden plant pot? Good luck if you go for it.

What a interesting and attractive tile. You have a lot of patience and detail. How many of these tiles do you have to have in all? The lovely bright pieces of pottery have so much detail on them. Maybe as you finish each one you could hold each one close to the lens to see It's detail in each piece more propery. So glad Tom sent me over. I'm sure [ will enjoy all of your information. Best Wishes

Hi Brenda, what a lovely comment, thanks so much. I have made about... I'm not sure without going and counting them...I think 14, and they are all different and beautiful but I've run out of shards. I am tiling the floor with them now and filming Part 2, I hope I have enough. I will take your advice and film or pass slowly over each one to show the details on the next video.

@findcreate61743 жыл бұрын
Hi Tom, thank you for the comment. I like them that way too but to avoid too much grout or the even more difficult jigsaw of random pieces and to make them into "tiles", I decided to square them off. It's hard to describe but I couldn't stick them straight to the floor, they had to be pre-made and pre-organised as the tile cement sets fast, plus I needed almost flat pieces and trimming the shards was necessary. But thank you for your feedback and I will be doing a future project which I may try your preference on. All the best - James
