- I will show you the steps and basic tools to make a simple mosaic project that is easy to do, fun, and will give an otherwise sort of bland landscape that perfect pop of color.
Great job. Dramatic improvement. All the attention to detail really paid off.
I have watched hundreds of videos... This video is the one I should have watched first. You answered EVERY question I had. Your work is gorgeous! Thank you! :)
Very professional work, Thanks my friend ❤️❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Beautiful job! This may be a summer project surrounding my flower beds!
You would kill it doing audiobooks! Such a soothing voice/well spoken! Great video!🤗
Thank you so much!
We’ll that was amazing!!!! EVERYTHING about it!!!!❤️❤️
This was just what I needed to know what products to buy and how much of each to use. Thank you for being such a good and generous teacher!
I love this project. I’d guess it took hours to create so many beautiful tiled pavers for the border of this sidewalk. It looks gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this with the RUclips audience. Really GREAT! 👍
thank you!! Definitely want to make these. You made it seem so simple. I live in Canada and concerned about how to create a base that won't heave during freezing and thawing. Really don't want the work of using rebar and cement to create the base path. Still not sure how to do it but thinking perhaps a simple layer of sand ( like you used) and then dozens of already made cement blocks and puzzle them all together. Love that you did it using the thin set mortar... love that you used equal parts sand and concrete for the grout. nice as well that I can start making these in the house while we are experiencing our - 30 - -40 weather here and then be ready for Spring. So excited to get started.
EEEks! Please be careful! I wish I could give you a pair of my gloves! WOW!! I am soo jealous. This is one of the BEST art- tile video I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing your genius!
I find the bare hands honest and natural. I prefer bare hands but sometimes wear gloves (when my hands start getting cut and smashed, I have clumsy spells). Its definitely safer to wear gloves. There are tactile benefits to bare hands, you know "getting your hands dirty"
Thank you so much for showing the process of stepping bricks. You have answered so many of my questions and more. I love your colors. You are so kind, and clever. Sherie Rodrigues 🧡🤗
Loved this idea. Thank you
Some of the best instructions I have seen very good work!!!
Nice!!! Excellent instructions! Thanks.
Thank you SO much -- awesome video! (SO helpful) 💖🙏🏼😃
love it. your tutorial was perfect not to fast not to slow. Easy to follow. great job
Thank you!!! I am always nervous! Lol
Very clever and skilled work. Thought the sand would scratch the mirror but none visible. Same basic technique with adhesive and white grout would adhere random, square or round mirror pieces to a 12 to 15 inch foam ball to hang in a garden or open porch, suspended by a wire and ball bearing fishing swivel. Fun projects!
that was my thought too (about the mirror scratching)
Fantastic idea with the bricks, this is a must do for me thankyou
Hello. I just love your colours. You have given great instructions, and for this my dear, I am truly grateful. Sherie.🤩
Thank you Sherie
Great idea, really pretty! Could be used on bricks for borders around plants also. Great info too.
I love Faith!
Wow! Thats amazing...Love It!!!!
Wow! Great video, so clear and easy to follow. The finished product looks amazing! Thank you!
Great tutorial. :)
Candy colors...so pretty!
Beautiful ❤️
Absolutely beautiful work!
Gorgeous...easy to follow your instructions...ty
Thank you so much this has really helped me in my own project ❤
🎉Beautiful bricks!😊
I watched this 2 times in a row last night. I like your method and I will be trying this next. I heard you say central texas and, I could be wrong, it looks like my home town, Temple Tx, northside/Historical district specifically. Thanks for this tutorial
I am in Austin. Did you do this project? would love to see picts!!
@@Flatforkstudio hello Flatfork! I KNEW you and I were in the same general area (Austin/Temple). When I first saw this video I had never attempted a mosaic or any other type of creative art. I must say things have changed A LOT in the last year. I would LOVE to share pics with you but I can't do that on RUclips. Maybe I'll search FlatforkStudio on FB. Or perhaps you know another way?
That was an AWESOME video. Well done m'lady.
Hey. Can you please tel me where you got your awesome gloves?
I got them at Home depot. Cleaning section..... theyre just a little more heavier glove. Miss those gloves! Theyre hatd to find!!
Great video, thank you! Just a couple of questions. It looks like there is some sort of thin rail between the walk way rocks and pavers, to hold the loose rock in place? is it removed after install? If not, what do you suggest using, thin wood, metal, or maybe landscape plastic edging? Also, you used mirror in the mosaic, I've been told that the sun ruins the backing of mirrors, is that a myth? Thanks again for your wonderful tutorial, very well done and easy to follow.
Well. I am so sorry I missed this message. You use metal or plastic railing. ;)
Wonderful video and project! How durable are these bricks as far as making them for an actual foot path? I want to try this very much but am concerned the tiles will crack or lift out if walked on.
very cool! This helps me a great deal.
I'm plannng on actually mosaicing our entire walkway by this method.
*fingers crossed* wish me luck
Did you do it?
Really nice
Wow looks wonderful. Thank you for explaining so clearly. I live in Canada,gets pretty cold in the winter,I wonder if it would hold up.
I don't understand youtube very well. I am so sorry I missed your comment!!
The answer is yes they wod. Just make sure to use a good concrete mix to stick them down appropriate for your weather conditions up there. The hardware store should have all you need. Just tell them its for outdoor tile and they will get you the right stuff! :)
Your a great teacher! Thank so much for sharing with us.😊
Beautiful!
Very cool
super looking project, nice work Faith
The area I want to do will be large, my worry is I want my work to be safe to walk bear feet. What should i do extra, do I need to smooth EACH edge?
So sorry I did not see this. Actually if its a whole walkway, I would be worried it will be slippery when wet. Made that mistake for sure.:)
putting the glass in the towel smoothes the edges out. is not a worry.:)
Thanks for replys👍
NICE - all 10 from Germany!
fantastic! now I know what to do with these pile of bricks I have.
Muy bonito, maravioso
Hi, love your tutorial! Question, in noticed you used pre-mix grout under glass tiles, why not use the same to grout it?
Hi there! Sorry so late in seeing this. The thinset underneath tiles has an additive to it that is a little elastic. Harder to just buff off the tiles. The concrete powders up so nicely and will last for years!:)
I hope that helps.
Beautiful job 😍😍😍, thank you 👏👏👏
Nice!
Wow, beautiful . What kind of sand did you use?
just play sand
absolutely gorgeous, great video*
Gracias, está hermoso y ordenado.
amazing¡ beautifull, congratulations¡
Vicky Gi
great work love it:-)
grout application could cut the hands /grout float and sponges to apply grout and sponge to clean the surface..just seeing this ending glass will slice your flesh
its much easier then you think. The glass edges are already sanded
Would like all mirrors
Neat
What kind of sand did you use?
Hi there! Play sand.
are you near teneha texas.
in Austin:)
Bello
Looks bad.
