I love listening to the birds in your videos. 🫠

Hadn’t seen the water trick anywhere else. Very clever! PS: also love the clematis climbing up the tree.

So amazing to see a video from a mosaic artist in Australia! As someone hoping to get into mosaics I have been left a bit lost from US or UK videos. Cheers from Brisbane!

You are a nature teacher - thank you for presenting this information in a clear, concise, manner that a newby like myself can understand .

[sundaysunshine]

Your videos are all so excellent that I find that I watch them multiple times

This is fantastic! I have been making mosaics for years, but I have always either used tiles whole or smashed them with a hammer. I have coincidentally ordered these exact tools and they are ready for me to drive-and-collect tomorrow (we are in lockdown!), as I want to start cutting my tiles. This video is perfect and very informative. Thank you!

[AlpacaRenee]

OMGOODNESS that clematis is out of this world! Thanks for your great content!

[deeschabot]

Love this, Peter! Thank you so much.

[millville]

OH MY!!!! I've just realized after watching many of your videos ... that you are LEFT-HANDED!!! (I was wondering why I couldn't hold and handle the tools and materials just like you do!), hugs.

Sandpaper is fantastic to smooth out edges. SO many idea's....IF One is INTO workng w Tile....Glass....Both. That same shade of turquoise IS the color I painted some of my
Interior Walls. Turquoise & a shade of pale yellow. Southwest colors I love

Watching again Peter. My reference videos. A great help. Thank you very much.

Have been wanting to cut leaves for cinder block wall. Have all tools but scorer. Have one for stained glass. Looks delicate compared to yours. Also studying qualities of tiles for outdoor use. Have learned to check porusness of tile by wetting back of tile. Also suggestions of groups. Cement base as opposed to non water base grout. Rather large project. Trying not to make major mistakes. Collectively you are all so helpful. 68, getting my Collage education through you tube. Wish ot had been around when I was younger. Thanks so much for your generosity and sharing your knowledge.

Hi Peter, I don't know where my message went to but I explained to you about my search for compound nippers today. Bunnings had none.
I explained to you about, when I got home, I started trying a couple of nippers I already had. Anyway, I used a tool I bought a few weeks ago, but it did not register with me that I had not used them before - they are Seabell Scissors. The tool cut through everything, even the Johnson tile. So I still don't have compound nippers but I have ordered what Rosie O'Brien calls 'the green monster"
I think that having the right tools is absolutely key to less hassle.in planning for the mosaic.
Thanking you again, Trish

I'm so happy to see you show us exactly how to use those tools. I bought the one with the scoring wheel and I had no idea how to use it I ended up getting rid of it because I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Now that I'm watching your video I'm kicking myself that I got rid of it

[BiddyLamb]
