Day Sixteen

The mesh arrived! I immediately got to work using the Weldbond glue to transfer the motifs I have saved with gum-back paper film. It was difficult to deal with the variations in tile thickness, but I solved that by slicing in with a utility knife to release the tiles that were too high up, adhering to the film and not making good contact with the mesh. It is good to put glue on both the tile and the mesh to ensure a good bond. The mesh and glue as well as many of the tiles were purchased from Mosaic Art Supply - see link below. Joe Moorman who handled my order is very responsive and friendly.
