      • For the mosaic floral Q and A:

        Do you ever make layered flowers (layered metallic petals and beads) in advance? Have you ever made the ranunculus flowers in advance and then affixed them to the apoxie clay for height?

        Do you have a source for the larger colored metal flowers that you included in the project kits?

        Thank you!

      • Hi Sharra,
        I apologize for reaching out with this question so late. I’m curious about where you source the paper you use for the vases. I’ve checked local stores like Dick Blick, Michaels, and Joann’s, but haven’t had much luck. The papers I’ve found have patterns that are too large for such a small vase.
        Thank you!

      • Hi Sharra,

        Do you know when you will have the small adhesive bottles available in your Amazon shop?

        Thank you!

      • Whenever I go to the grocery store, I always start in the floral department. I seek out the discount bunches, the rejects, the orphans. I take them home and spruce them up, giving them a lovely arrangement for their final days – or even weeks! Someone always stops me with my overflowing flower cart to comment on them. And I always say,…

      • Hi all! I will be traveling on Wednesday, June 4 for the meet and greet zoom meeting. I am heading to Winston-Salem area. Does anyone have any recommendations for Mosaic / glass shopping, classes, or artwork? We are willing to travel within several hours. Thanks in advance!

      • Hi Sharra! I love where I live… the garbage piles are SO great! This find was the best and I have a question about preparing this substrate. This is painted metal. Totally rusted under the paint. I’m hoping there is a way to just seal it. Can’t wait to get started on these! I’d like to do them for the exterior and was thinking apoxy…

        • Wow!! To have garbage piles that look like this! What a fabulous find, Corinne- so much potential in these! I will add your question to our Q&A on Wednesday and think on it! I feel the peeling paint will need to be addressed and may need some kind of stripping or powerwash. What do you think?

          • I was afraid you’d say this! There is only one small chip on one of them. Can’t wait to discuss.

          • Here is the simple version. I needed something on the right and I wanted more light blue on the left.

          • First mini floral mosaic mostly done. I wanted to stop at a simpler stage, but kept going. I am currently resisting the urge to tear some stuff out. I’m putting it out in the universe and just letting it be. This really was outside my comfort zone, yet I really love the whole idea of it. What to do!?!

            • More is more! 🙂 I get where you are coming from, Cindy, it’s hard to know when to stop! The more florals I make the bigger they get, lol. I think it feels joyfully full and. balanced. I love all the color and paper choice is a beautiful compliment to the rest! So fun! You are a natural!

            • Hi Sharra! What is the easiest way to get to your store? I think the only way I found to get there is to go to the bottom of the mini florals course, Is there a quicker way that I don’t know about? Thank you!

            • Hello, my name is Evrim. I have been interested in mosaics for many years. I am very glad to be with you.
