"Make it Mosaics" shares this mosaic fabrication technique that is used when you have materials of various thicknesses and desire a flat surface. This method is often used for floor medallions and tabletops and is a traditional fabrication method originally developed in Italy. The tesserae are glued face down onto a temporary surface (brown paper) with a water-soluble paste. We recommend flour paste and this video demonstrates the simple process of making your own paste. We also demonstrate setting the mosaic into a mortar setting bed. Mosaic Classical Technique Reverse Method on Brown Paper Tutorial is comprehensive of this traditional mosaic method.

Tools and Materials List: Flour paste, mixed mosaic materials, brown paper, thin-set mortar, sponge, dental or picking tools, small paintbrush, sponge and water.
“Pasta Amido” flour paste glue
1 tablespoon All-Purpose White Flour
1 pint Water
Pinch of Salt (this helps delay the glue spoiling)
Heat all over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, add a couple drops glycerine to hasten process (optional), eventually thickens to paste consistency.
