- Ep. 108 A PAIR OF MOSAIC WINE GLASSES and Mosaic Roses for the Garden!
I start making a set of mosaic wine glasses in gold tones. One will have light accent tiles and the other will have dark. I add snakes of black Apoxie Sculpt to the base of the wine glass and press it in place with my gloved hand. I Start with the edge beads, placing a strand of strung beads, pressing them in place and then pulling the strand out. Next I lay in the big beads, I place them about 1/3 of the way around using my favorite method, eyeballing. Then the circumference of the stem is covered in a strand of beads and I pull the strand out. Then the lighter accent tiles are placed and smaller beads are pushed into any spaces leftover.
Then I start the second glass, this time showing how I roll out my snakes on the plastic shelf paper (super handy to keep my worksurface from getting mucked up with Apoxie.) Again, using the same gold beads, the edges are laid first and pressed in place. This time I use darker accent tiles. In no time I have a beautiful set of gold mosaic wine glasses.
Next, I decide to make some rose mosaics for the garden and I am using some round slate coasters as my substrates. I use GE II Silicone as my adhesive. I have three pink roses I made as a test and I have 10 more to make! I start with the yellow centers and work on three at a time, building around each one slowly. Once I finish the flowers on three yellow, I switch to the other colors. That way I can work on the leaves all at the same time.
So I start the three red roses and then tackle the three whites. I have a nice method build with a steady rhythm, so they come together quite smoothly. Last of all, I work on the Peace rose, which has a yellow center and pink outer petals.
Now that all the roses are finished and lined up, I can start on the leaves. I switch from the dark green sample glass to a softer green that is more true to roses and will have better contrast against the slate. I make each leaf half and place it before making 2 or 3 nips where the leaf veins run. It gives the leaves a nice definition once they are grouted.
I came back to the studio the next day with some taped off roses, all ready for pre-mixed Spectrlock I grout in Natural Gray by Laticrete. The red roses I will use Slate Gray. Following the directions inside the tub, I spread the grout and wait just a few minutes before wiping off the excess with a damp sponge using circular motion. Then the waiting begins. After about 30-45 minutes I return and remove the tape. I wait a while longer and clean the grout film off with a Magic Eraser. Then I wipe off any remaining haze or water with a cotton rag. The next day I cam in with a dry cotton rag and brushed off any remaining grout crumbs.
Lastly, I took them outside in the bright sun to see them sparkle and Peanut gave her approval!

Everythink you touches turns into beauty. Thank you for the pleasure you give to our eyes.
You are too kind! Thank you.
Enjoyed the video and the music. Drinking my coffee and picking up more ideas. Love how you put colors together. 😊
Yay! Thank you!
I loves these little jewels. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
These are so pretty . It’s amazing to watch you create .
Thanks so much! 🙂
Those look all so beautiful. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
J'aime beaucoup les ardoises avec les roses
Thank you! 🌹
All are beautiful and l love your slate roses, totally gorgeous. 😊
Thanks so much 😊 I wish they made them without the feet!
@@mazzonimosaics8222 Try using a heat gun, it will soften the glue on them and they should remove easily taking any residue with them. That's what I do with anything that's adhered down with glue and I want to remove it.:)
Thanks Peter! Great tip!
The roses are beautiful. You are so talented. You inspire me every time I watch your videos.
Your cuts are so precise.
Thank you so much!
Loved watching you create those roses!! Love the end results!! Love that shimmer!!
Thank you so much!
Wow! 💕
Thanks for watching!
The roses are amazing! Thanks for taking us through your thought process and planning prior to creation. Great lessons!
Glad you like them! Cheers!
I made my first rose following your gift for auntie video. Mine isn't as beautiful ly crafted as yours, but it's a start, but I will continue to practice cutting until it looks closer to yours. Also, your color combinations are fabulous.
Sounds great! And thank you for watching!
The wine glass base is good but I think I like the previous ones that you made as friend gift better. The roses are exquisite esp the white ones which have the winter frosty vibe due to the blue hues 😍😍😍😍 I too plan to make roses soon but I m still into ceramic tiles - soon will graduate to using glass ones thanks to inspiration from you and other mosaic artists on CZcams 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks and I agree- I like the other ones better! I think it’s the giant round beads that are throwing it off. Too bad, since I bought several strands just for wine glasses!
Julie I'm sure you'll find better use for them 🙂
your roses are amazing...mine look like little crescent shapes stacked in a circle...lol
Oh no! Keep practicing. I made these after the fountain flowers that took much more effort, but gave me lots of practice! Here's one of the fountain roses going in: czcams.com/video/uplqc1cFiKg/video.html
@@mazzonimosaics8222 I have seen your fountain and it is one of the most beautiful mosaic things I have ever seen . I have shown it to my husband and everyone I know. I am a loyal subscriber I love everything you make!
You are too kind! Thank you and cheers!
Hi, I’ve subscribed to your channel & started watching from the beginning. I love your work. But I was wondering if you have ever tried a masking medium? You paint it on the areas you want to mask off. It might be better than taping.
Sounds like a good idea! I’ve used it for painting but never tried it for masking grout. I think it might be more expensive overall than tape.
The wine glasses can obviously been hand washed, but not suitable for dishwasher? I am assuming! 💕
Yes. I’ve been hand washing. I think it’s best to be careful since there are beads. I’m not sure 🤔 how they would do in the dishwasher!

Thanks for watching! 🌹🌹🌹
Hello I watch all your videos and I love them. I would like to know what material is slate coasters since I don't know what it is, or if you know what they call it in other countries I would appreciate it. Saludos desde Argentina
Slate is a type of metamorphic rock. Here it is purchased in round pieces used to hold a drinking glass.
Lovely pieces! Can you wash the entire wine glass after it is used or should you only get the goblet part of the glass wet? I wasn’t sure how the adhesive you used to secure the beads in place holds up to water.
You can wash the entire thing, but by hand for best results. The Apoxie Sculpt is waterproof.
@@mazzonimosaics8222 thank you so much for getting back to me. I think this would be a fun gift idea!
Could something like these be used for coasters if they were sealed ?
Yes. I don't think you need to seal them since they are sold as coasters. Maybe upgrade to a waterproof grout and you are good to go.
What adhesive did you use on the slate?
GE II Silicone.
