$500 Gift Certificate Mosaic Art Suppy

mosaic_plum_tree

Our printable gift certificates are delivered to you as a digital copy to your email by default, so you don’t have to wait.

On the gift certificate is a PIN number which the recipient can use as store credit.

Why A Gift Certificate Is Best

Artists like to choose their own colors and materials, so a gift certificate is a good way to get them exactly what they want, while trying to pick for them is problematic. When in doubt, get the gift certificate. It’s easier, and they won’t be disappointed. Your artist will also have access to all the mosaic tips and instructions at our website, which is the largest, most complete online source of how-to-mosaic information.

Mosaic Tips and Instructions

All of our online mosaic content was written by a professional artist who also holds an engineering degree and has worked in a materials testing laboratory.

Beware Of Questionable Information

There is quite a bit of instructional material online, and a lot of it is questionable, particularly when it comes to crafts. All too much of it was written merely to drive sales without regard to durability or longevity. For example, you can see websites recommending the use of water-soluable glues to attach tile to terracotta flower pots, which is problematic for several reasons and not likely to last. For comparison, here is something our mosaic artist wrote about potential problems with mosaic flower pots and how to fix them.

How To Mosaic Blog

Our How To Mosaic Blog is where we post new content written after 2013. Check it regularly for new articles concerning all aspects of making a mosaic: choosing a grout color, how to transfer a pattern, how to make a mosaic lawn sculpture, etc.

Mosaic FAQs

Our page of Frequently Asked Questions addresses many basic issues and is organized by topic. A novice could get oriented and avoid many classic mistakes merely by skimming through this page.

Mosaic Instructions

We have many different mosaic instruction pages, and most of these are described in our Mosaic Information Page.

Navin’s Special-Purpose Tweezers

navins-special-purpose-tweezers-600Navin’s Special-Purpose Tweezers are 4.5-inch stainless-steel straight tweezers with “needle-point” tips. The straight needle-point style is the best style of tweezers for micro-mosaic work, especially when used in concert with a dental pick. In the studio, we find ourselves using these when working with glass tile of all sizes up to 3/4-inch vitreous. If you are cutting tile or mounting each tile one at a time, tweezers are extremely helpful.

Fun Facts about Navin’s Special-Purpose Tweezers

Some people are saying that these tweezers were made from steel recovered from the famous German battleship Bismark in forges fired by wood from the true cross. Others are saying that only steel from King Arthur’s sword Excalibur could have produced such an amazing pair of tweezers. In my heart, I think it’s even better than that. I like to believe that these tweezers were made from an extraterrestrial alloy smuggled out of Area 51 in Roswell and that Bigfoot and JFK Jr. helped get it out. More cynical voices are saying that these tweezers are more “special purchase” than “special purpose.” These horrible people claim that the tweezers were discovered by accident when Joe made a typo in a part number on a supplier order, but that’s such a boring way of looking at the world.

Reduce Frustration

With tweezers, you can attempt more detailed designs than you would even consider if limited to using only your fingertips. Improve your art while reducing frustration.

USED Hercules Precision Stone Chopping Machine 17KG Model

Hercules Precision Stone Chopping Machine Model 17KGUSED Hercules Precision Stone Chopping Machine Model 17KG
This listing is for our lightly used 17KG (standard) model Hercules stone chopping machine. This one is being sold for $2550 to reflect its used condition. The machine is in good working order. It was only used for work on two small mosaics. You can see this one in action in this video.

v Original Product Description Below v

The Hercules Precision Stone Chopping Machine Model 17KG is factory-grade equipment for making precision cuts in marble mosaic tile and hard porcelain. The machine’s upper blade is lowered by a screw mechanism that requires much less effort than handheld cutting tools, and the cuts are made smoothly and efficiently. There’s no comparison really. This machine is designed to be operated all day long in a commercial environment. No worker could make as many cuts in a day with a nipper.

The cut quality is also vastly superior. With the chopping machine, you have more precise control and can cut thinner sections. The lower blade is adjustable to ensure the most precise cuts possible. Made in Turkey by the Birgul Gul company.

The cutting blades that come installed in the machine work very well for all types of marble and stone.

Hercules Precision Stone Chopping Machine

  • factory-grade construction.
  • manually powered using comfort-grip hand wheel.
  • screw mechanism for smooth, efficient cuts.
  • adjustable lower blade.
  • comes with set of stone/porcelain blades installed.
  • weight: 34.7 lbs
  • height of machine: just under 14 inches
  • diameter of hand wheel: 10 inches
  • box dimensions are 12 x 13 x 17 inches

Safety and Cutting Tile

Keep Away From Children. This is factory/shop equipment.

The smooth, efficient cuts made by this machine are MUCH safer than those made by handheld nippers, which snap when they cut and send pieces flying all the time. With these machines, you shouldn’t have pieces flying at all, or at least very rarely. That being said, you should still observe the basic safety rules for using a compressive cutting tools:

  • Always wear safety glasses with side shields when cutting.
  • Make sure that you don’t cut tile around people who are not wearing safety glasses. Flying chips could potentially hit their eyes as easily as yours.
  • Be aware that cutting tile of any type can produce sharp edges.
  • Crumbs from cutting can be extremely sharp. Never sweep off a work surface with your bare hand. Use a vacuum or counter brush.

Mini Halloween Glass Mosaic Tile Assortment 10MV Half-Pound (8oz)

The Halloween Tile Mini Mix is a half-pound mix of 3/8-inch vitreous glass tile in black, orange, white, and yellow. This curated assortment contains color numbers 1, 49, 91, and 95 of our Morjo Vitreous minis.

These tiles are vitreous glass, but the colors chosen have a solid pigment density. As a result, these tiles have great clarity and opacity. The grooved side bonds adhesive more securely and also makes for easier cutting. Competitively priced yet suitable for fine art, they are also UV resistant and factory certified for commercial exteriors, swimming pools, backsplashes, showers, murals, as well as art-&-craft projects like mosaic stepping stones. For an organized design you can set aside and rework, use a mounting grid.

Mini Halloween Glass Mosaic Tile Assortment 10MV 8oz

  • tile size: 3/8 inch (10mm)
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: 1/2 pound (~approximately 325 pieces)
  • material: vitreous glass
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Coverage

Each half-pound bag will cover approximately .45 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of approximately 1/32 inch. Most Mosaic Mounting Paper is 1.15 square feet and requires 841 tiles (29 tiles x 29 tiles). Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your project.

Compatibility

Tile thickness is 1/8 inch nominal, the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, which means that these can mix and match with other types and brands.

Cutting Glass Tile

We recommend the Mosaic Glass Cutter for cutting all types of glass mosaic tile including these. Note, however, that there is a limit to how small they can be cut. Due to their tapered edges, small pieces will tend to tip over. We advise cutting halves, quarters, and diagonal triangles, and not much smaller than that. For creating outlines and other details, check out our Rectangle Border Tiles or our Outliners Mosaic Sticks.

Mounting Tiles

Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar.

Imitation Gold Mosaic Tile BULK SALVAGE Mix 1 Pound

Imitation Gold Bulk Salvage Glass Tile Mix

Imitation Gold Tile Bulk Salvage Mix 1 Pound

This salvage assortment includes 1 pound of imitation gold tile strips and loose pieces. As a salvage product, incidental damage such as chipped corners and scratches may be present. You can sample a variety of all our imitation gold tile products with this versatile mix. Limited quantity!

Salvaged Material Included:

  • Imitation Gold Mosaic Tile WAVY 10mm
  • Imitation Gold Mosaic Tile WAVY 20mm
  • Imitation Gold Mosaic Tile SMOOTH 10mm
  • Imitation Gold Mosaic Tile SMOOTH 20mm

CAUTION: Sharp Edges and Slivers May Be Present

Imitation Gold Mosaic Glass tile is SILVER (Ag) alloy leaf fused under hand-cut glass mounted on removable clear film. These are what some competitors are selling as real gold mosaic (shame, shame), but they are great for what they are: a beautiful and economical alternative to real gold mosaic.

These are hand-cut tiles, but they are fairly square and uniform for the most part, although some are slightly irregular in shape. Note that the backs are coated with a yellow epoxy to inhibit oxidation from tarnishing the silver foil.

Imitation Gold Tile Bulk Salvage Mix

  • tile size: 3/8 inch (10mm) and 3/4 inch (20mm)
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: 1 lb mix of strips and loose tiles
  • material: glass fused over SILVER alloy leaf
  • variety: molded tile
  • colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Compatibility

These tiles mix well with most brands of 3/8 inch mosaic tile because their thickness is 1/8 inch nominal (4mm), which is a common industry standard. BUT, keep in mind that these hand-cut tiles do not have beveled edges like molded tile, which means they will not fit into mounting grids as deeply as the molded tile.

Cutting Imitation Gold Mosaic Glass

Cut Imitation Gold Mosaic Glass into halves, quarters, triangles and irregular shapes using our Mosaic Glass Cutter.

Use in Mosaic Art

These make an attractive and affordable alternative to real gold.

Morjo™ Polygon Glass Mosaic Tiles

glass-polygon-mosaic-tiles-banner

Morjo Polygon Glass Mosaic Tiles are mixed polygon shaped recycled glass tiles with a vibrant opaque color range. They ship in bags of 8.8 ounces (approximately 120-ish pieces), which covers slightly under 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. Each bag contains an assortment of polygon shapes.

Recycled glass is a homogeneous material made by fusing powdered glass. It has solid and consistent color all the way through and cuts cleanly and predictably using the Wheel-bladed Mosaic Glass Cutter. Hard, durable, and UV-resistant, it is suitable for commercial exteriors and murals.

Morjo Polygon Glass Mosaic Tiles

  • tile shapes: assorted polygons
  • tile size: varies by shape
  • thickness: 4mm
  • sales unit: 8.8 ounces loose tile (about 120-ish pieces).
  • material: glass
  • variety: recycled glass
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Coverage

Each 1/2-pound bag of about 120+ tiles covers almost 1/3 of a square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your grouted project.

Compatibility

Like most of the glass tile we sell, polygons have a nominal thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm).

Grout Gap?

Note that dry indoor mosaics do not require grouting, and so for those you can simply mount the tiles tightly together. On the other hand, wet and outdoor mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. For those, leaving a 1/16-inch gap allows enough grout to adhere between the tiles.

Cutting Morjo Polygon Glass Mosaic Tiles

Morjo brand recycled glass mosaic tile cuts easily into tiny pieces using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters.

Polygon Tile in Mosaic Art

Use polygon tiles to create textural organic patterns similar to cracked earth, snakeskin, or tree bark, where irregular shapes are prominent. Polygon shapes can also give you a head start compared to cutting down square tiles into illustrative shapes. Our other mixed shape tiles include Irregular Ceramic and translucent Soft Glass Shapes.
