Thank you for your videos. I very much appreciate them. I've personally decided that the medium that will bring back my creative flair will be Mosaic. With Artits block for many many years, my energy to create is coming and to begin with discovering your vlogs is now giving me the spark. Again, Thank you xx

Thank you. Great tutorial. So is grouting unnecessary/optional? Thank you

If this was a pique Assiette mosaic what and how thick would the thinset be , and have you done a video to show one thanks

@HelenMilesMosaics 6 ай бұрын

It is a pique assiette (I just didn’t use the name!) and the thinset should be at least half, preferably two thirds the depth of your thickest piece of china.
