"In his Hands " Spiritual Hands Fountain by Karen Sasine
My piece is 22x17 inches Do I grout the entire piece all at once or in sections?
Why do you need to wear a mask?
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Wish me luck!
I enjoyed this. 👍
Hi Karen. Thank you for the how-to video. Im getting ready to order your pigments. Do you find you get better (darker) color saturation by using gray instead of white thinset? I usually want as dark as possible of the final dried thinset color. Plus I have a huge bag of gray platinum 254 to use up 😅
Very impressive work. Will the colour last? Intriguing technique. Thank you. Xx
do you ever use reason over the top of your project
Great video and tips! What brand and type of colors do you use? What brand of grout do you use? What sealer do you use? I think you showed it quickly, but I couldn’t see it clearly. Thanks!
What is the hammer tool called?
Love the bag idea!!
Wow!
Please keep camera closer. Thank you
Doesn't the rubbing off the grout with a dry paper towel scratch the tiles since the grout has sand in it?
Not at all
In all of the hours of mosaic video I have watched, this is the first time I have heard about using a value finder! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. How can I get info on the method you're using to get value recommendations for an image to guide smalti selection? It looks very useful and I'd like to learn more about it. Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.
I learned to grout from you! Now my husband is learning the same method, Thank you!
Awe. Very cool!
I know this is an old video so not sure if you will see this but you said you never use white grout, just wondering why? Is white grout bad to use or just isn't done for mosaics. I have mostly seen black and some gray and tan. Just wondering why black is the main color instead of white. I like white but I don't mosaic, I am just watching videos to learn how to do it so I can start. Thanks for the video it was good.
White grout will fracture the look and will draw your eye to the grout, not the mosaic. My rule of thumb is to make sure the value (how light or dark) of the grout should be the same or darker than the surrounding tiles or your focus will be on the wrong part.
Can you grout over contact resin as my flowers on my rock mosaic is glass and flowers made out of resin now to grout on it but not sure if you can grout over flowers made out of resin please advice
I would think so but my best recommendation is to do a test mosaic and grout that.
Can you or do you ever grout smalti l?
You can easily grout Mexican Smalti but Italian Smalti isn’t normally grouted.
Did you glue the glass pieces prior to grouting?
Always.
Thank you for talking the talk and actually walking the walk. So many mosaic demonstrators are not wearing masks when mixing and gloves while grouting. I really appreciate your teaching while doing. Loved this video! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Let’s just pretend that 10 minutes is up…” 😆 Thank-you for taking the time & effort to record/post this; I found it super informative & helpful! PS-I absolutely LOVE your ☀️ charm on your necklace 🥰 Did you make it? Is it a piece of tile?
do you think these same methods apply for mirror mosaicing?
Yes. The only difference with mirror is the adhesive needs to be ph neutral
Everything I needed to know. Thanks. Not as much why but good info. Tfs.
I love it. Wow what a great idea we fall in love with you before we even see your work.
Looking forward to learning more about mosaics. Im a teacher so welcome all your tips. Thank you so much
Thanks for the tips! Wondering what adhesive is the best is for exterior mosaics? Yes, I grout and waterproof everything.
Laticrete Platinum 254 thinset is my favorite. You can also use silicone or Mac.
Thanks!! 😊
Do you do the vinegar/water spray immediately after grouting, or wait a few days (and do it with the sealing)? My tile will be used indoors, wasn't planning on sealing it, hope that's okay. Thanks for the helpful video!!
Wait 24 hours. If it’s indoors, sealing is not necessary.
Wow so many greys in that first pallet of mosaic glass tiles. Please. Who’s the manufacturer and which series. Thanks!
thank you
Dove posso trovare la tavola per tagliare il vetro Buona serata 😘
Looks like Amazon may have. Morton has a website but products were not opening for me.
Why don’t you recommend white grout?
It can tend to fracture it and make it look juvenile. There are certain times where white is ok
Depends on what you are grouting
did you seal or bake the pieces of glass you painted before glueing it to your substrate - or did you just paint, let dry and then glue ... ?
love you, thanks
Have you ever used transparent grout? I’m doing a large desktop with lots of colors ?!
Do you mean epoxy
Love this advice. You solved a lot of issues for me here.
In fact I like a lot your mosaic and want to learn more because I still don't understand different adhesive ang glue with different supports I need your help

Very helpful videos - thanks! Can you recommend a source for the needle-nosed bottles that you use?
Laura Chapman I get them on amazon. Look up needle nose bottles
@@mosaicmentoring8107 Thanks! I actually bought some needle-nosed bottles from Amazon, but the opening was too small to be able to transfer the Weld-bond from it's original bottle. I'll keep looking...
Laura Chapman try these. 10-2oz Refillable Artist's Bottle with Twist Open/Close Nozzle. Cylinder Bottle www.amazon.com/dp/B01EIGX5XU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HNHSEb3N0CT75
Mosaic Mentoring you’re awesome - thanks so much!
Can I add a little paint to the grout to give it a pretty color?
Beverly Shaffer it’s not the best practice but you can. I prefer using powdered colorants.
Karen Sasine ok, thanks!!
Great info
I just started watching your channel, thank you for creating this video. Can you give some suggestions on where to buy ceramic tile. I am new at this… And overwhelmed when I go onto the Internet not knowing how to purchase. Thank you!
Julia Ramirez thank you. I recommend joining the Mosaic Mentoring Facebook group and looking in the files. We have some lists for suppliers
So helpful. Thanks Karen.
Excellent tips! Thanks!!
I truly appreciate the information that was shared in this video. However, I would have preferred and learned more if the camera person had zoomed in on the various tile examples rather than concentrate on the speaker. I was disappointed.
Thank you for this! It helps take the mystery out of it.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Can you purchase those sample cards showing the available colors? I have my own studio, where are good places for purchasing Smalti that allow wholesale accounts to be setup? Thanks for any comments.
Would love to see your progress! Or finished product!
alpero483 you can see the finished product on Facebook, Rainbow Mosaics
Are you going to grout this? The cuts look very tight. Beautiful work!
Leany Baldwin I did grout it using different color grout
