Stained Glass & Mosaics

My article about how to mosaic garden stones

10 years ago

I posted about making garden stones some time back and I promised I would come back with pictures showing how to deal with the edges. I decided to write an article for Hubpages about it and would appreciate your reading and critiquing. I've shown lots of pictures.

Here is a link that might be useful: Silva's article about her garden stones

Nice article Silva! I especially like that you showed a picture of the mortar that you use which should cut down on the repetitive questions you would probably receive asking you what is mortar! Love your garden stones and your clever placement of china!

Thanks, crafty_lady. Yep, I've probably fielded 50 questions over the years about what is thinset/mortar admix. It took me awhile to figure it out myself.
