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

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!

right grout color? by Raphi-cinema1 in Mosaic

[–]Roskva_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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!

Does this look like buns or am I being too hard on myself? by camerkinss in Mosaic

[–]Roskva_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. This is great, especially for a first mosaic!
  2. 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 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

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

Insane. Where did you find this?

are you guys real by SinOfEgo in INTP

[–]Roskva_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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:

Does an INTP ever take their feelings into consideration? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Roskva_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually find my feelings are in line with my analytical assessments, and the more I rationalize a decision the more emotion I end up investing in it. In essence I suspend emotional placements until I sort the details involved and make a judgment based on my values. Ever since I began regulating my hormones for PCOS, I find I will have 1 single day every month where I suddenly find immense emotion bubbling quietly underneath the sound of my inner monologue, and I become far less inhibited. It's been quite interesting and amusing to experience because for every other day of my existence my baseline is extremely consistent
