Painted Desert Assortment 3/4-Inch Glass Mosaic Tile Mix 1-lb

Our Painted Desert Glass Mosaic Tile Mix is a beautiful desert-themed glass tile assortment with warm earth tones, stone greys and blues, light sky teals and fire orange. This mix includes a combination of Morjo™ Vitreous and low-grain Lojee-Nojee™ tile, which adds textural variety and a great way to sample both brands.

These tiles are hard and durable enough for outdoor installation, yet they can quickly be cut into halves, quarters and triangles with little force using a pair of mosaic glass cutters. The grooved side bonds adhesive more securely and also makes for easier cutting. To plan your design, use a mounting grid.

For a mini version of this mix, check out our Albuquerque assortment.

Painted Desert Glass Mosaic Tile Assortment 3/4-Inch

  • Price is per 1 pound (roughly 145+ tiles).
  • Tile dimensions: 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch (20mm x 20mm).
  • Tile thickness: 4mm (1/8 inch nominal).
  • Material: glass
  • Coverage: each pound covers 0.69 square feet.
  • Coverage: 218 loose tiles cover 1 sq ft. with grout spacing of 1/16 inch.
  • Frost-proof, impervious to liquid.
  • Suitable for indoor/outdoor use.

Product Coverage

Each pound covers 0.69 square feet assuming a standard grout spacing of 1/16 inch. Coverage for 1 square foot requires 218 tiles. Note that cutting tiles generates some scrap, so you may want to budget 5% extra.

Compatibility

Because the 3/4 inch size (20mm) and 1/8 inch nominal thickness (4mm) is industry standard, you can combine these tiles with a wide variety of 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 and 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 Tile

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

Use in Mosaic Art

The affordability, ease of use and durability of these tiles makes them suitable for outdoor projects such as garden décor. The pigment quality also lends itself equally well to photorealistic mosaic images and fine art.

ProControl Mosaic Glass Cutter

Pro Control Glass Nipper

Mosaic Art Supply is proud to be the first online retailer to carry the new ProControl Mosaic Glass Cutter Model 32014. This is a sophisticated and ergonomic hand tool for cutting glass mosaic tile. The ProControl Mosaic Glass Cutter is a compression nipper just like our regular mosaic glass cutter, but has numerous improvements to appeal to professional mosaic artists who are cutting glass tile all the time.

  • Weighs less than the traditional mosaic glass cutter (8.6 oz instead of 10.8 oz)
  • Has longer handles (1 inch extra) to make cutting easier
  • Has a tile thickness lock to reduce hand fatigue
  • Comes with a hex key built into the back for adjusting or changing the blades
  • Has a cutting-depth guide to help make uniform cuts
  • Has thicker, more comfortable handle grips
  • QEP Model # 32014

Note that LONG strips of glass are made with a different tool (Pistol-Grip Cutter), which scores the glass instead of nipping it like the ProControl tool does.

This tool cuts glass up to 3/8-inch thick with minimal crushing and splintering, and it easily cuts molded tile into quarters, halves and triangles. It is also great for nipping up small pieces of stained glass, although it is not a scoring tool for making long straight cuts in stained glass. This is a compression tool and tile is squeezed between the blades, and the circular blades do not actually rotate while cutting.

Replacement blades are available, although the blades should last for years if you don’t abuse them by attempting to cut materials other than glass, which ruins the precision of the tool itself by warping it.

Wheeled cutters such as the ProControl Mosaic Glass Cutter are the appropriate tool for cutting glass tiles. Unlike ordinary tile nippers, wheeled glass cutters won’t crush and splinter the glass. Instead, the cuts will be cleaner and less tile will be wasted as splinters.

Safety and Cutting Tile

  • Always wear safety glasses with side shields when using the cutters.
  • Make sure that you don’t cut glass around people who are not wearing safety glasses. Flying chips could potentially hit their eyes as easily as yours.
  • Never use a mosaic glass cutter to cut materials other than glass, especially hard porcelain. The wheel-shaped blades can shatter. Cutting materials other than glass also ruins the precision of the cutters!
  • Be aware that cutting glass tile can produce sharp tiny slivers. Never sweep off a work surface with your bare hand. Use a vacuum or counter brush.

Product Specifications for ProControl Mosaic Glass Cutter

  • aluminum hand plier with cushion grip
  • 8.5 oz,
  • replaceable carbide steel cutting blades
  • can be adjusted depending on tile thickness and preferred cut depth
  • comes with a hex key for easy blade adjustment
  • QEP model number 32014

How To Cut Glass Tile

Hold the cutter over a cardboard box or plastic dishpan to catch broken pieces and tiny slivers.

Hold vitreous glass tile upside down when cutting so that you can see the embossed pattern of ridges on the bottom. Make sure you position the blade so that the ridges do not interfere with it. It is easier to cut across a ridge or in a crease between two ridges than it is to try to cut with the blade on top of a ridge where it can slip off.

Efficient Cutting

It is much easier to cut up four or five pieces of tile and choose the one that fits best than it is to try to trim one piece to a certain shape or size. It is quicker too. Keep your rejects in a small pile and pay attention to the shapes that are in it. If you don’t use a certain size or shape as often, try to cut fewer pieces like that. This is much more effective than trimming a piece down to what you need, and it is a lot less tedious.

Replacement Springs

Replacement Springs are available, but your cutters are not defective or useless if the springs fall off. The springs tend to fall of all hand tools eventually, even the most expensive brands. Keep your pinky fingers inside the handle instead of outside with the rest of your fingers and use that to open the tool. This is basic shop/studio practice for using any type of plier tool, most of which do not come with springs in the first place.

Bulk 5 Gallons (approx 25 Pounds) of Broken Dinnerware for Pique Assiette Mosaic

We’ve got 5 gallon buckets of vintage broken dinnerware — china, plates, saucers, cups, etc — for making pique assiette mosaics.

Weighing upwards of 25 pounds, these are totally random vintage lots and for bulk sale only. Most pieces will be unique, and we can’t sort through them to choose any particular pieces. All pieces are broken in some fashion, and scratches and chipping may be present. Most pieces are white ceramic with designs and trim including florals and gold leaf.

Shipping is expensive, but you can e-mail us about a bulk shipping quote if you want 3 or more buckets. We also accept local pickup at our warehouse near Atlanta, GA.

Cutting Broken Dinnerware

Cut ceramic broken dinnerware using our Compound Tile Nipper. Regular glass tile cutters will break on porcelain!

Use in Pique Assiette Mosaic Art

Broken dinnerware is great for indoor pique assiette mosaic art, as seen in our mailbox example. For a flat-laying porcelain tile alternative, we also have Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats in blue and white china patterns.

Pique Assiette Mosaic Style

Pique assiette is a style of mosaic art traditionally incorporating broken china and found objects. It is a centuries-old folk art form of recycled art. See our Irregular Glazed Ceramic Tile for another ceramic option with a “broken” style.

Broken Millefiori Glass

Broken Millefiori Glass Promo

Description

BROKEN Millefiori Glass 8mm-12mm (5/16 inch to 1/2 inch) by Mud Turtle Mosaic™ is sold in 2-ounce units (approximately 55+ pieces). THESE ARE BROKEN PIECES OF OUR REGULAR MILLEFIORI. MOST PIECES ARE FLAME POLISHED AND NICE, BUT EXPECT A FEW FLAKES AND SHARDS TOO SMALL FOR USE, MAYBE 2% BY WEIGHT.

Our millefiori is a next-generation product that is much more affordable than traditional Italian millefiori and is actually superior in several ways. For starters, the glass used is translucent and semi-translucent instead of being fully opaque, and this makes the colors more vibrant. Second, the Mud Turtle Mosaic is more cleanly cut and flame polished, so the pieces are smooth with a molded appearance instead of the rough, irregular, and uneven pieces usually seen in Italian millefiori, which is much more expensive.

What Is BROKEN Millefiori?

BROKEN pieces of Millefiori, which is a traditional form of art glass that is disk-shaped with different multicolored patterns and is used in glass fusing, jewelry, and mosaic art.

Product Coverage

This is a problematic question because the BROKEN millefiori was intended to be used as an accent instead of as area coverage, and the piece size can vary. That being said, one 2-ounce bag should cover roughly 5 or 6 square inches, but that will depend somewhat on how efficiently you nest the pieces.

Compatibility

The thickness varies, usually running between 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch. This makes it about the same thickness as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, with some pieces slightly thicker.

Cutting BROKEN Millefiori

In theory the BROKEN millefiori can be cut using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters, but the pieces are already small enough to make cutting unnecessary and problematic.

Mud Turtle Mosaic™ BROKEN Millefiori 10mm-12mm

  • Price is per 2 ounces (approximately 55+ pieces)
  • Diameter: approximately 8 to 12 mm (5/16 inch to 1/2 inch).
  • Thickness: roughly 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch.
  • Coverage: each 2 ounce bag should cover roughly 5 or 6 square inches.
  • Material: glass with solid color throughout.
  • Coefficient Of Expansion (COE): 90.
  • frost proof.
  • impervious to liquids.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation.
  • Not suitable for floors.

Dichroic Stained Glass

Dichroic Stained Glass Sheets Promo

True Dichro Stained Glass by Youghiogheny will appear to change in color and opacity as the ambient light changes throughout the day or based on the type of light source. Dichroic glass will look best in traditional stained glass projects, or in glass-on-glass mosaic art where light can shine through the piece. Made in the USA.

Dichroic Stained Glass is sold in 6-inch sheets like the rest of our stained glass. Some sheets will have a rippled end along one side of the glass. Some colors have a wavy characteristic to them, while others are mostly flat. The thickness varies between 3 and 4 millimeters depending on the color.

Finish

The dichroic stained glass has a finish that is very similar to the High Strike glass we sell in the main stained glass category.

Youghiogheny Dichroic Stained Glass Sheet 6-Inch

  • STAINED GLASS VARIES IN COLOR AND PATTERN BY SHEET. Do not order if you cannot tolerate variation.
  • Sales unit: 6×6-inch square piece
  • Squares are hand-cut using a straight edge and not always perfectly square.
  • This is cutting stock for making small mosaic tiles; not intended for use as finished mosaic tile.
  • Thickness: 3 mm or 1/8th of an inch
  • Pigments: colorfast metal oxide.
  • Coverage: 1 sheet covers approximately 1/4 square feet.
  • frost proof
  • impervious to liquids
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation.
  • NOT suitable for floors. More fragile than glass tile.

Stained glass can have sharper edges than regular molded glass mosaic tile, so care must be used in cutting, handling, and grouting. Stained glass varies in color and pattern by sheet. Do not order if you cannot tolerate variation.

Product Coverage

Each 6-inch square sheet covers approximately 1/4 square feet when uncut. When you cut it up, you will gain additional coverage from the grout gap, but you will also lose some coverage in the form of cutting waste.

Compatibility

Sheet thickness is 3mm or approximately 1/8 inch, which is NOMINALLY the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell. That being said, mixed-media mosaics and even mosaic table tops are routinely made from dissimilar materials with even greater differences in thickness.

Cutting True Dichro Stained Glass for Mosaics

True Dichro stained glass can be cut quickly with minimal force using our Mosaic Glass Cutters. Use this wheeled cutter for irregular rectangle and triangle shapes. For long straight cuts and curved cuts, use the Pistol-Grip Cutter to score the glass, and a pair of Running Pliers to apply pressure and snap it. Finally, you can also use cutting oil to lubricate cutters for more precision.

Use as Cutting Stock vs. Whole Tile

We hand cut stained glass sheets using a straight edge, and so there is variation in size and straightness. We sell these square sheets as cutting stock for making small mosaic tiles, not as single finished tiles. Some sheets may have a rippled edge along one side of the glass – this is the outer edge of the larger sheet we cut into squares.

Mounting Dichroic Stained Glass

First, before mounting always rinse stained glass with detergent to remove any traces of cutting oil residue. Even if you don’t use cutting oil, it may be present from the manufacturer. For dry indoor mosaics, Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting stained glass. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, we recommend you use thinset mortar.

Smoothing Sharp Edges

Stained glass often has sharper edges than molded glass mosaic tile when cut. At our studio, we use a marble file or a rubbing stone to knock off any razor edges remaining after cutting.

Safety Notes

We have chosen Youghiogheny stained glass for its beautiful quality and pigment density which makes it suitable for mosaic artwork. However, while it is non-porous and suitable for outdoor mosaic art including benches, tables, and garden décor, it is not recommended for tiling floors. If a mosaic becomes damaged on a surface where it could cut someone, then use the fine edge of a marble file to smooth the edge until you can replace the tile. This also applies to mosaics made with molded tile.

Rendering in Mosaic Art

Traditional stained glass art often makes use of custom-cut pieces that define entire figures or components. In mosaic art, the approach is different: figures and components are almost always built up from multiple tiles unless the object in question is particularly small. It is best to stick to one approach or the other for a particular piece of art.

American Made Stained Glass

True Dichro is made by Youghiogheny in Connellsville, Pennsylvania on the Youghiogheny River. Youghiogheny makes quite possibly the most beautiful glass made in the world, including Italy. This is a great opportunity to buy an American-made product and support high labor and environmental standards at a price that is competitive with molded glass tile made in China.

URO Stained Glass

URO Stained Glass Category Photo

Uroboros stained glass is a special line of hand-rolled glass that is now being produced by Youghiogheny as URO by Yough.

Uroboros stained glass is sold in 6-inch sheets like the rest of our stained glass and is similar in most respects. It’s 3mm thick, has a wavy surface, and may have a rippled edge on one side. The surface of URO glass is very similar to the surface of the High Strike glass we sell, which is denoted by an HS in the color number. Another similarity with the HS glass is the presence of a mottled appearance on different parts of the glass.

What makes URO by Yough glass different is the depth of color that can be seen when it is back-lit. This glass looks great when used on the face of a traditional mosaic, but it really stands out when used in a glass-on-glass mosaic, or in a traditional stained glass application such as a window or sun-catcher.

Y96 Quick Shapes Fusible Stained Glass

Y96 Quick Shapes Fusible Stained Glass stained glass shapes by Youghiogheny are water-jet cut shapes that can be used in mosaic art or fusing and slumping projects with 96 COE glass. Made in the USA.

Y96 Quick Shapes are sold in packs with 10 pieces in varying sizes. This is the same type of glass as our Fusible 6-inch Sheets.

COE 96

Y96 Fusible Stained Glass uses standard COE 96 fusing schedules available online.
The glass is tested using a dilatometer and examined with a polariscope to ensure it meets the set standard.
This glass can of course also be used in regular stained glass mosaic artwork. There is no requirement that it must be fired and fused; the glass is already beautiful.

Firing Schedule

The manufacturer specifies the following guidelines.

With fusing and slumping projects this glass should only be used with other COE 96 glass.

Use In Mosaic Art

Stained Glass is non-porous and can be used outdoors, but we don’t recommend it for flooring. These shapes are meant to be used as accents or for patterns.

Stained glass is made for use in decorative windows and not as tiling. We have thought long and hard about what the safety and usage implications are of using stained glass for tile, and there is one issue that seems particularly important: If a mosaic becomes damaged where there is sharp broken broken glass mounted to a surface where it could cut someone, then use the fine edge of a marble file to smooth the edge until you can replace the tile. This also applies to mosaics made with molded tile.

For dry indoor mosaics, stained glass can be mounted using Weldbond adhesive, but thinset mortar should be used for outdoor and wet mosaics. In either case, stained glass should be rinsed with detergent to remove any traces of cutting oil.

Smoothing Sharp Edges

Stained glass often has sharper edges than molded glass mosaic tile when cut. At our studio, we use the fine edge of a marble file or a rubbing stone to knock off any razor edges remaining after cutting.

DISCONTINUED – Sample Board Morjo™ Triangle Glass Tile 3/4 Inch

IMPORTANT: Triangle Glass Tiles were discontinued by the manufacturer
As we run out of colours we will not be able to replace them. This sample board has many colours that are no longer available. The sample board price has been permanently dropped to account for this. The original product description continues below:

Sample Board for Triangle Glass Tile by Morjo™ comes with one of each tile in our color palette.

Sample Boards

Sample boards should be used wisely with the understanding that all tile can vary by manufacturer batch, even the most expensive brands. This is because tile is fired in a kiln, and that process is more difficult to control than mixing paint, and so there can be differences in shade or hue. Feel free to contact us if you need to know if a color has changed since you ordered your sample board. MORJO™Recycled Glass TRIANGLE Tiles by MORJO™ are sold loose by the 1/2 pound (approximately 115+ pieces), which covers slightly over 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. These tiles have a glossy finish, and the glass has solid color throughout (and not just on the tops or bottoms.) They are opaque when mounted on an opaque surface.

WARNING: COLOR NAMES

The Triangles use the same colors names as Morjo 12mm square tiles, but the colors are not the same for the current batch of Yellow and the Cyan Blues. Look at the pictures. Yellow is a little greenish, and the Spring Green Light is almost a yellow. The Cyan Blues have hues that are more pewter-ish than desired. Other colors (with less difficult pigments) are spot on. Slight batch variations can always impact matching with square tile colors. Do not assume exact matches. -Joe Moorman 09/10/2019.

Material

The recycled glass is a homogeneous material that cuts cleanly and predictably using the Wheel-bladed Mosaic Glass Cutter. They are hard and durable and UV-resistant and can be used for the exteriors of commercial buildings. The fusing process for making these tiles from powdered recycled glass is referred to as “warm glass” or “enamel glass” or “pate de verre.”

Morjo™ Recycled Glass Triangle Tile

  • tile size: ~3/4 inch (20mm) on a side
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: 1/2 pound loose tile (about 115+ 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 115+ tiles covers a little over 1/3 of a square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch.

Grout Gap?

Note that dry indoor mosaics do not have to be grouted (and thus you can simply mount the tiles tightly together), but outdoor and wet mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. The best way to ensure that the gaps between the tiles is to leave a 1/16-inch gap instead of pressing them tightly together, and this point seems counterintuitive to some people. Consider this: you can never mount them so closely together that water can’t penetrate it, but you can accidentally put them so close that grout doesn’t get adequately pressed into the crack during the grouting process.

Compatibility

These tiles have a NOMINAL thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm), which is the same nominal thickness as most of the glass tile we sell. All tile varies by batch, but any variance in thickness should be irrelevant to most users. You can use these with other brands of recycled glass and even vitreous glass, although the graininess of some vitreous colors might not look good when combined with the homogeneous glassiness of recycled glass tiles.

Cutting Recycled Glass Triangle Tile

Recycled glass cuts like butter using the Mosaic Glass Cutters without creating a lot slivers or cutting waste. This makes them ideal for micromosaic or rendering small details in larger work.

Sample Board Lojee Nojee™ Glass Mosaic Tile 3/4 Inch

Sample Board for Lojee Nojee™ Glass Mosaic Tile by Morjo™ comes with one of each tile in our color palette.

Sample Boards

Sample boards should be used wisely with the understanding that all tile can vary by manufacturer batch, even the most expensive brands. This is because tile is fired in a kiln, and that process is more difficult to control than mixing paint, and so there can be differences in shade or hue. Feel free to contact us if you need to know if a color has changed since you ordered your sample board. Lojee Nojee™ Glass Mosaic Tile by Morjo™ are a low-grain variety of vitreous glass with much fewer specks. Most colors have no specks at all. These tiles are sold loose in bags of 1/2 kg (1.1 pound), which is about 165 tiles. They are UV resistant and factory certified for commercial exteriors, swimming pools, backsplashes, showers, murals, as well as art-&-craft projects like mosaic stepping stones. You can use these with other brands of 3/4 inch vitreous. The red, orange, and yellow colors in our regular vitreous compliment the Lojee Nojee™ color palette quite well. The backs of these glass mosaic tiles are embossed to help the cement or adhesive bond more securely. Except of 1 or 2 colors, the embossed pattern is the tic-tac-toe pattern most people prefer for ease of cutting. See photos. They are competitively priced yet suitable for fine art. Mounting grids are available.

With a standard grout gap of approximately 1/16 inch, one bag of approximately 165 tiles will cover 0.76 square feet. Approximately 218 loose tiles are needed to cover 1 square foot. You can 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 be used with other types and brands. The red, orange, and yellow colors in our regular vitreous compliment the Venetian color palette quite well.

Cutting Lojee Nojee™ Glass Tile

We recommend using the wheel-blade Mosaic Glass Cutter we sell to cut all types of glass mosaic tile including vitreous. (Regular tile nippers are for ceramic tile, and they tend to crush glass tile.)

Lojee Nojee™ Low-Grain Glass Mosaic Tile 3/4-Inch

Lojee-Nojee Low-Grain Glass Mosaic TileLojee Nojee™ glass mosaic tile by Morjo™ is a smooth, luminous low-grain variety of vitreous glass tile with much fewer specks. Most of these beautiful colors have no specks at all. Each 1/2 kg (1.1 pound) sales unit contains about 165 tiles. Lojee Nojee™tiles are UV resistant and factory certified for commercial exteriors, swimming pools, backsplashes, showers, murals, as well as art-&-craft projects like mosaic stepping stones. You can use these with other brands of 3/4 inch vitreous. The red, orange, and yellow colors in our regular vitreous compliment the Lojee Nojee™ color palette quite well. The backs of these glass mosaic tiles are embossed to help the cement or adhesive bond more securely. Except of 1 or 2 colors, the embossed pattern is the tic-tac-toe pattern most people prefer for ease of cutting. See photos. They are competitively priced yet suitable for fine art. Mounting grids are available.
