Outdoor Mosaic

I undertook a big project this summer to make an outdoor mosaic in our garden. It was a learning experience and I wanted to share it with the world as I made some mistakes and some things didn't work and hopefully this is will help if you are planning to do this yourself. I wanted to make this a super helpful instructional video but it is hard to film this stuff! And so there aren't many instructions in the vid but in a nutshell:
1. Clean your base (where the mosaic will go)
2. Smash your plates etc
3. Plan or arrange your design, leave small gaps in between each piece
4. Mix the mortar (in small batches as it dries out), use a knife to spread a thin layer on each piece and press down
5. Leave for 48hrs to dry
6. Mix your grout, spread over the mosaic, getting it into all the gaps
7. Wipe off excess grout, and leave to dry for 48hrs

Take appropriate safety precautions eg, wear gloves and goggles etc
