Description

Free Mosaic Pattern Autumn Tree is a gridded design that can be used without transferring the pattern to the backer. The rows and columns of the pattern are numbered, which allows the user to check a position merely by counting. No carbon paper or other transfer techniques are needed.

Also, the pattern doesn’t even need to be printed.

Tile

This pattern is designed for Morjo™ 12mm Glass Mosaic Tile, but it could be used for tile of any size.

Backer Size

This design fits on a 15×15-inch backer when executed in 12mm tile with a hairs-width grout gap between the tiles. Without a tiny grout gap, there may be a slight gap at the edge on a 15×15-inch backer. If so, make sure the mosaic is centered on the backer.

To center a mosaic, position 1 row and 1 column of tile without gluing down the tiles. Evaluate any leftover gap at the edges and center the mosaic accordingly.

Displaying Mosaics Unframed

Many books and authorities recommend NOT extending the tiles all the way to the edge of a backer because it makes those tiles vulnerable to damage by impact and by leaning the mosaic on its edge. We have observed that the 6×6-inch size is small and light enough to be handled without these types of damage being as much of an issue provided the mosaic is handled with care. Also, we think the raw mosaic edge is a vital part of the look and feel when displaying the finished artwork. The make great objects d’art when displayed unframed in the easels used for displaying china plates.
