HOW TO MAKE MOSAIC VALENTINES/GALENTINES CARDS | 5 Examples Using Glass, Clay, Beads, Plates, Bowls

Mosaic Valentines/Galentines Day cards are a quick + easy way to share your mosaic art with all your loves! In this video, I demonstrate how I created 5 different mosaic cards on an artist trading card-sized substrate. The materials I used include Sulpey clay, stained glass, vitreous glass, glass tile, ceramic shapes, letter beads, plus plates and bowls for a few pique assiette mosaics. I take you through the process of prepping the substrates, tiling, grouting, and cleaning up. I also talk a bit about how to tile a mosaic with different thicknesses of materials. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout.
