Mosaic Novelties

I have these coffee tables that originally had glass tops, but popped the glass off the top, screwed a board underneath the top and made it into a mosiac. The mosaic is still low enough that I can put the glass back over top, but I do not like how it looks. Is there any [...]

At a market I saw some beautiful rocks with little mosaic creatures on. I want to create one myself, but have never done anything like it before. How do I start? What glue do I use? TIA Also, I’m in New Zealand, so if you know any brands here that would be helpful! Thanks
