Oh Rory this is such a wonderful demonstration! Thank you so much. It is so wonderful to see a master craftsman at work! I keep wondering what type of paper you are using for the drawing.
Hello and thank you for the wonderful video. Really useful and explained well. Could you please kindly let me know what is the substrate you are using? The sound wasn't clear in the video and I couldn't make it out. That would be very helpful to know. Also, I was wondering about how this mosaic would be mounted unto the wall. Would it be possible to create several pieces in this technique and then put them together into a bigger mosaic on a wall? Thanks!
Do you have any advice on how to apply this to a wall? I have been struggling to find the sticky paper for the front and am wondering what else might work. My piece is 12 × 15 inches.
Could you use a roller to adhere the tiles before removing the sticky paper? This is a great tutorial, however, there’s a rattling noise coming from the camera that’s hard to listen to what you’re saying.
It's called a margin trowel: the best way to determine the proper consistency is to scoop a margin trowelful of the prepared mix and turn the trowel upside down. If thinset falls off, the mix is too thin. Regarding your notched trowel selection, a 3/16-inch V-notch is probably right for your 1/8-inch thick tiles - as long as the trowel is held at a consistent 45-degree angle. You are one of the few artists who use the flat side of the trowel to key the thinset into the setting bedm and you do seem to be careful about the depth of the thinset after using the notched side of the trowel, but can I offer a suggestion? After "notching" the thinset, finish the bed - using a light touch - with the flat side of the trowel. This does not removed any thinset, but, rather, it knocks down the high ridges and virtually eliminates the bleed-through of thinset at tile joints that can be so troublesome to remove.

Very clear process. Thanks for putting the video together.
This video is great! I took a fantastic class with you last year and this is a wonderful review of the Indirect Method. Thanks Cindy!
I'm interested to know what the panel is. I can't hear well over the sound of the trowel. Thank you.
Quite informative. Thank you.
Where do you get the sticky mesh?
please make more you are fantastic
good video friend I already subscribed and left my like :)

Hi Rose - I just got back from a mosaic community project in Guatemala - do you still want to know the answer or perhaps you figured it out?
Thank u very much

This process saves you a lot of time from having to wipe and rinse, wipe and rinse the grout.
A poor video. Use of jargon and unexplained terms is not helpful for the beginner.
Well Michael this video is not for beginners like yourself.
Humm 🤔… as a beginner myself. I felt the use of “jargon” aka proper terminology extremely helpful!
Great video! I subscribed 😊!
