Hello!
I am new here. ;) What an amazing site!! You are all so creative and inspiring. I'm also fairly new to mosaics. I've done a few projects here and there but this is by far the most time consuming one i've done. I regrouted it 2 times. I didn't like the white grout first because it didn't make the design pop like I wanted. So then I tried grey grout and it looked fabulous. After visiting this site I saw something about rub n buff...which i'll have to try in the future. That may have saved me hours of removing the white grout and replacing with grey grout.
I do have a few questions though....do you sand the edges of the dishes after you break them so they aren't so sharp? My friend does mosaics and made me a beautiful bird house but it's very sharp. I didn't want my table to be that way so I took my dremel with the stone grinding bit and made the edges smooth. That took a while but I was pleased with the results.
Also, I tried sealing the table with a craft mosaic sealer. That did not work well. After drying it just peeled off the tiles and looked horrible. Is there a particular sealer that any of you have found to work better?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
