    Default Blessed are the mosaic artists

    I don't know how they do it day in, day out.

    I've just spent most of the week putting up glass mosaics on round walls, buliding out window jambs to suit, building out walls to meet other tiles etc.
    I need a pint.....NOW

    I just charge a 'Bucket Load' when asked to quote glass mosaics, or any mosaics for that matter, makes for a far more pleasant job.

    Don't mind doing features or Borders in glass mosaics but doing a full bathroom would be a pain. True what your saying though KK, price accordingly & it will make it a more pleasant job to do!

    A very neat piece of work, in common with most mosaicists, I imagine, whenever I see tiling I have to stick my nose up to it and have a real good look. Considering the angles on the area you had to cover the section around the window is really nicely done.
    You think setting mosaics does your head in you should try having to cut all the pieces too!
