Part 2: Metallic Polymer Clay Tiles and Tempered Glass Mosaic

Video 2 of a 4-part series showing how I create a mixed-media mosaic that includes handmade polymer clay metallic tiles, decorative papers, and tempered glass. This piece is meant to hang indoors (for exterior mosaic, you wouldn't want to use a wood substrate, nor water-soluble Weldbond.)


Included in this particular video is a demo of me making a small abstract landscape. You'll see an easy way to cover substrates with polymer clay, and how I choose the decorative papers that I love to use with the tempered glass technique.

The next videos in this series will be released within the next week. Please subscribe so you don't miss them!

In 2019 I created this mini-class for an online teaching platform, but it didn't do very well. :-/ I guess most folks want to listen to and see the creator. I'm weirrrd; I actually prefer videos that focus on hands doing their wizardry. In any case, I'm not ABOUT to waste all of this info! I hope you enjoy, and that your creative journeys are inspired and informed a bit by viewing!

A note about purchasing links: most of the links go directly to Amazon, where I am an "Associate". This means that if you purchase something from a link I provide, Amazon pays me a tiny itty-bitty "finders fee". This does NOT effect your price! It's the same as those who purchase w/out following link. I put a LOT of time into these videos and I still don't have enough youtube subscribers to gain the coveted "Monetized" status (where you're paid for the advertising that runs on your vid), so this is the only compensation I'll get.
