Hey, that's really nice work that you have done there, Claire! What are the mediums that you used and what have you named each of them, if you have named them?

I don't think that you have posted on this thread before today. If you have, then I must have missed it. Have you previously posted on this thread?

It was great seeing new work on this thread. What size are your mosaics? When you have time, please write short description of what you used on the glass (oil or acrylics) and what you used for the filler between. I did mosaics a lot of years ago and I can't recall if I painted the glass, broke it, then glued it? Then what I used to fill in spaces.

Each of your pieces offer something new and different to the viewer. Please post more of your work. These were delightful.

No I haven't posted on this thread before but I looked through some of the work and think it is brilliant!

The mosaic tiles aren't painted, they are coloured glass tiles that my art tutor supplied for me, and the filler in between is just ready made grout, sometimes just use ordinary plaster/filler in between if I'm low on money, it goes further too.lol I use PVA glue to stick them down. I sometimes colour the filler that I use too, I put acrylic paint in with the mix.

The sizes of the mosaics are in between A1 and A2 size, I have them stored at my parents so I can't get the measurements.lol

Going for a job interview on Weds to run a mosaic class at a community centre, wish me luck!lol

Some more of my oil paintings. I have one more mosaic that is done within a painting, but the files too large at the moment, i'll resize it and post it when I can.

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate the information. I do wish you the best on your interview. Keep us posted! I am wanting to begin doing some mosaics again so your post was so timely. Are your mosaics on thick board? The ones I did were but makes them so heavy. You mention sizee A1 or A2. Would that be approximately 8x10 inches, 11x14 inches, one foot by two foot. I am not familiar with A1 or A2. You will learn that I am always full of questions.

Again, best of luck to you on your interivew!

You have an interesting technique on the last three paintings. Is there a name for the technique or just came to you in your creativity?

I will check back later. Need to run to the Nursing Home to help feed my mother now. Looking forward to more posts from you.

Its on ply wood, around 1cm thick, the wood is quite light on it's own, but sometimes can be quite heavy if I use tiles that are usually used for bathrooms etc, usually call tiling shops and ask for their broken tiles.lol The sizes of the two mosaics are approximately 23x33 inches.

The technique I used in the last three paintings doesn't really have a name as far as I know.lol I just enjoyed having a flow of the paint visible in my paintings, like movement within it. It's more interesting to me if it's raised and feels nice to touch.lol
