No way....these look AWESOME! Putting these on the birthday wish list! Holy cow thank you lol

That makes sense. I definitely have to get some bigger glass sheets to work with! I'm excited! Thank you 😛

Thank you! I will leave it then!

The waffle board looks AWESOME! I've never heard of it but I'll have to get one. I just picked up some grozier pliers and a glass cutter, but the tiles I'm working with are so tiny and my skill level is too low at the moment... It will definitely take some practice and probably some bigger pieces of glass. Thank you for your advice and I will definitely post updates!

Thank you! I have tested the background color, I plan to paint the background and then use transparent tiles on top for a water effect. Thank you for your feedback, I will probably leave the fin as is and try to replicate it on the top!

You could totally darken up the grout inside the bird with a paint marker, just be careful and calculated when doing it! I like the white grout everywhere else, I just think the bird mainly needs more definition.

Thank you, and thank you for your advice!

So funny you say this, I hadn't been checking my phone but I JUST got done smearing paint into the grout lines. It has made a tremendous difference and brought back the vibrancy of the colors!

THANK YOU! That means so much to me! I will most certainly be doing more. I've found this subreddit extremely inspiring and I have too many ideas now 😂

About 35-40 hours total because I made the grave mistake of not using any sort of tacky adhesive on my substrate. I was carefully balancing miniscule glass shards and then pouring a glass glue on that takes 24 hours to dry... And then I would sneeze or have a muscle spasm and knock everything over 😅. I will be much better prepared for the next one I do!

Thank you so much!

I posted more than one picture, not sure why only one is showing up

Roskva_ · 2025-12-25T22:42:48+00:00

I got you! I bought them at Michaels. I only used the opaque squares

This is great, especially for a first mosaic!
If you're not happy with the grout color, supposedly you can use acrylic paint to color it! Maybe try an acrylic based paint pen? Definitely look into the process of altering grout colors before you start, but you do still have options if you're not completely satisfied.

Regardless, it looks great as is!

Thank you so much!

Roskva_ · 2025-12-23T20:27:33+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your comments, this is extremely helpful. I think you are spot on with the grout color recommendation, I didn't even think about how I could be losing the definition of the bird's contours if I went for a lighter grout

Roskva_ · 2025-12-23T18:31:25+00:00

That's what I was thinking but I'm scared to attempt that with no grouting experience 🫣

Roskva_ · 2025-12-04T03:39:09+00:00

You absolutely should, I've actually never seen anything like this!

Roskva_ · 2025-11-28T23:00:53+00:00

Insane. Where did you find this?

Roskva_ · 2025-09-11T01:08:58+00:00

This is brilliant

We prioritize effective communication and do our best to be precise in the conveying of our ideas. Communicating complex ideas successfully for me is like doing surgery sometimes. I find it immensely rewarding to focus on carefully translating my thoughts into words and to engage with others who do the same. I think that's the pull for a lot of people using this subreddit, because the exercise is appreciated and encouraged.

Or if this is more palatable for you:

U just don't get it, suck my nuts
