      Haha! I sometimes wait until my husband leaves town so that he returns to it already having been done! Luckily he doesn't mind. 😂

    What a beautiful project. I'll be walking around my house looking for a good spot. Probably a backsplash for my stove!

    I love mosaic work, my mother has several master degrees in art. Anyway, I’d like to do mosaic Seaglass, and depending on the color of the room, that’s how I decided to color pattern my work..I do these on table top. my table top are usually a night stand by the bed… etc…Anyway, I never thought about using River rocks and your work for mosaic with the river rocks are gorgeous. Question in your front yard do you have a mosaic type walkway to the entrance of your door? that’s one of my big goals once I buy another home for myself… anyway once again awesome work… big gigantic hugs 🤗,Michelle

      Our walkways are just slate, but I have done mosaic walkways in the past. Maybe someday in my eventual retirement... and your table tops sound gorgeous!

    I often get stuck on a word (raised with too many languages in my head). When grouting, your fingers won't get charred (haha!). The skin will get ground down. Hence, wear gloves. Also, the adhesive is a thin-set mortar.

    Thank you for this; it's a project I've wanted to do in my own home. I think I must've missed what kind of adhesive you used? Could you share it again, please? Thank you!

      So sorry about that. It's a thin-set mortar. Let me know if you have any other questions throughout your own process!

    Great tutorial - thanks!
    Can you use the same technique using larger river rock...about twice the size of the ones you're using?

    • @ringgoldnic

      Yes! I've done that before. My challenge was ensuring the rocks adhered to the surface (the wall), so I had to use more adhesive than I anticipated. But yes.

    Fyi, RUclips put a "mature content" warning on this video. I can only imagine it's because you used the word "caulk" and their AI heard a different word? Lol anyway, very helpful video. Thank you.
