Creating Glass Mosaic Decorative Art

To create gorgeous and unique glass mosaic art, all you need to do is gather a few mosaic supplies and you are on your way. You may have already tried your hand at fabricating a piece, only to be discouraged by problems like shrinking grout, uneven grout lines and tiny air bubbles coming to the surface.

With a little advice and encouragement on how to fix and prevent these problems from happening though, you can be on your way to constructing a beautiful piece of mosaic art.

Your grout may have been too runny if it shrunk after setting and hardening. You will experience a lot less shrinkage around your glass tiles when you mix your grout to a thick and pasty consistency.

Even if your grout does shrink, it is easily fixable. It only requires that you re-grout your glass mosaic. And since the grout is much easier to apply the second time around, you should be able to achieve the near perfect results you are looking for.

To achieve professional results at home, all you need to do is pay attention to detail and take your time. You can create a glass mosaic that you will be proud to show off to family and friends.

To prevent grout line depressions, imperfections and pinholes of air bubbling to the surface, try the previous tips. You will be pleased at how easy it is to forge mosaic glass tile creations that are uniquely your own.
