Amazon is by far the best place i know of for getting mosaic supplies at a good price:

For tiles try ebay or amazon, and if you are lucky you might have a good local supplier or art store that get get mosaics for you.

More than a few of my classmates back in high school frequently turned in beautiful mosaics as projects for Latin class and I always wondered how it was done. I've finally decided to learn!

I’ve been wanting to mosaic ever since feeling mesmerized by the cathedrals in Italy a few years ago. Thank you for your clear instructions. I have an 80 year old desk that means the world to me, and I’m going to spruce her up with tiles! Your videos are unleashing my passion. Thank you!

Great video! I have found that standard nippers can be used alongside a oil cutter-scour on any type of glass as the oil cutter traces a line that the standard nipper can break and it is really good for accurate and long cuts.
