Bellflower Mosaics Installed! Yay!

There are five panels in all, and it took only 2 days to install and grout them. See all of the pictures on my website:www.robinindar.com. This project can be found under the "Commercial Mosaics" section.

Finished the clock tower mosaic!

Two down, three to go! The Bellflower clock-tower may look easier than it was. My first thought was "all black with a colorful sunset, not a whole lot of detail," so I figured this one would go a little quicker than it did. There's actually quite a bit of nitty gritty detail here. And sunsets are just plain hard. The stained glass I used for the sunset is slightly thinner than the black porcelain tiles too so we'll have to pay attention to that during grouting.

How to Mosaic onto Mesh Part II

Once your image is under plastic (wrapped tightly so there are no ripples) roll out a sheet of fiberglass mesh.  I bought this 38" tall roll online.  It's cheaper to buy in bulk, like most things.  I had to lay out the mesh in three pieces so the whole image got covered.  Make sure the mesh seams don't overlap and that they meet squarely.  You'll find that you can see your image right through the mesh and so you can follow it as your guide.  In the above photo, the mesh is covering the left 2/3rds of the image.
