Everyone has to start somewhere on learning how to make mosaics. This was one of my first attempts at creating art with glass tiles. I cut the glass myself. Each glass piece is about a 1/4 of an inch to 3/8 inch. This design taught me how much space I would need to make a mosaic pattern on a large scale. I learned that I had better plan to work larger or I needed to learn to cut the glass smaller.
I cut my own glass because I am generally using scrap glass left over from my husbands stained glass projects. Buying pre-cut glass is expensive. However, if you work in a small format, it is probably worth it to buy tiny tiles because they are very aggravating to cut.
