Mosaic artists

[flowergirl]

Hi Just wondering if there are any mosaic artists here in WetCanvas (yes, I know it's not "wet" art - except when I bleed!)

Anyone interested in starting a Mosaic thread?

Thanks

I'm a budding mosaic artist. I would be totally interested in a mosaic thread. Here's my first attempt at a mosaic:

May I see pics of some of yours?

The lighting is terrible in that pic. It looks more like this:

Hi- I'm guessing by the responses that there aren't a lot of mosaic artists. I posted one in the glass forum years ago and think I only got a single response.
I for one would like to see more from both of you.

I mostly paint and occasionally dabble in mosaics. I think, over the years, I've maybe done 10 or so. This past year I did 4. Most of these are about 22- 30" wide except the portal fish which is slightly smaller. I cut out my substrates into shapes. Sorry- the uploader quit on me after one. But you get the idea.

Jtownsend- cool portrait!

Thank you Sharon. That one was particularly time consuming because of all the cut out work and tiny cuts. Still trying to figure out how to hang it, or ship it if someone bought it, because it's delicate. Much appreciated. Uploader still isn't working for me or I'd post a few more.

Got hooked on mosaics and now have done my mailbox, flowerbox, patio wall and kitchen backsplash (posted a pic of part of that). It is an addiction...http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/14-Jan-2012/22878-PICT0198.JPG

Wow! great mosaics! That backsplash is to die for. This is what I want to do when I get my kitchen redone.

I am currently working on a table mosaic about ~46" diameter, I will try to post a picture later.
I also have one that is about 8" x 11" which I truly love.

Wow the mosaics in this thread are great I have always wanted to do mosaics its my 40th birthday coming up in a couple of weeks and I have asked for money to get some supplies to get me started, I live in Scotland and would probably order stuff of the internet any ideas for what to buy to get me started I have order some books from the library should get them in a few days will need to do more research I love the kingfisher what did you attach the mosaics onto was it wood. I am interested in glass on glass mosaics using transparent glass tiles, and then grouting it in black has anybody tried this technique I saw a video on the internet looked fab, I have always loved tiffany lamps I am also interested in stained glass as well any help would be appreciated to get me going thanks Lesley

Beautiful work!

[MaryroseFortier]

I'm new to WC... and I would like to meet/talk with other mosaic artists, too

[annieb43]

I too am a mosaic artist.
Hi everyone!
my work can be found in my signature.
Not sure how to upload pics here as yet!

[cvearrier]

I love mosaics and have just started playing with it. Would like to do more and learn more:clap:

[tigress]

Yes I would like to see a mosaic channel. It is just as much of an art form as any other medium. I have done a few tables and found it great fun and yes addictive. After seeing the beautiful back splash posted by Redcaw, I too am tempted to try that. Hope you like my tables and thanks for looking.

http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/21-Mar-2013/104784-Untitled.jpg I was looking for a mosaic thread! Glad I found this! I love making mosaics and always:clap: interested in connecting with others who have a passion for the medium!

Fun stuff Shawn and Tigress. Great work. There hasn't been enough interest so far in a mosaic forum unfortunately. Most of the glass artists don't even look at the mosaic threads. I don't know why that is. There are some fabulous mosaic groups on Flickr and the artists are very supportive of each other.

Maybe if we keep posting here, someone will take notice.:heart: :thumbsup:
