…I’ve been asked this question many times recently as I’ve told people I was planning to write on a blog regularly as part of my new life as “TileMosaicGirl”. Well, what AM I gonna write about?! Lemme tell ya:
•“Do’s” and “Don’ts” for making Mosaics (boy; have I been collectin’ a few of THOSE lately!!)
•Great places/resources to find the best buys on the best stuff to put ON mosaics (I am a MAJOR deal-finder, let me tell ya!)
•All the “How To’s” of making tile, glass, and mixed media mosaics
•Answers to, “What CAN or CAN’T you do a mosaic on?” (like, “Is it okay to mosaic my cat?” or “Does it matter what kind of table I use to do a mosaic on?”) Also LOTS of discussion and sharing about what DOES and DOESN’T seem to be a pretty workable base to put mosaic on.
•Where to find classes in your area if you want to learn more about mosaics (I’ve got a few GREAT ones for you in Denver, of course!)
•“Cutting vs. Not Cutting”; what kinds of mosaic work do you want to do? Do you like the cutting of tile and glass, or do you hate it? Can you really get around it?
•What kinds of adhesives or glues or mortar or concrete or super glue or mastic or thinset or tile adhesive or whatchamacallit should I use for THIS mosaic piece I’m working on???
•Great books, videos, audiocourses, etc. on mosaics; what’s great and maybe what’s not-so-recommended
•My life as a working artist; what’s it really like? Will I go crazy or just be blissed out every single day? How is it balancing DOING artwork with doing the BUSINESS-y stuff?
•Mosaic art and other events of note; local, regional, national; what’s happening out there; what is there that might be really cool and fun?
•Ideas from YOU, the readers, about what you’d like me to write about; either from comments from my posts or messages from you to me; let me know what you’d like to know about. If I don’t have an answer, I’ll tell ya AND I’ll do my best to FIND the answer!
So…please do come back often, choose to “follow’ this blog, and hit the “Tumble” button to share a post with some friends; it’s definitely “the more the merrier” here!
