Making a Mosaic

Due to a range of reasons including the transference of Corona Virus, insurance, age the lack of people having colourful tiles in their bathrooms I have only been able to get my hands on white tiles. 

Despite this fact, I am going to persevere with this section of my project and work around this inconvenience. I plan on testing a few methods of giving colour to my tiles.

1. giving the tiles a stain of colour before I smash the tiles into pieces
2. giving the tiles a stain of colour after I have smashed them into pieces
3. painting the tiles with acrylic before I smash the tiles into pieces
4. painting the tiles with acrylic after I smash the tiles into pieces 

Experimentation 3

 

next step:

to smash the tiles into small pieces 

then figure out a design 

ideas for design:

stained glass window

randomly placed tiles 

For my design I went with having red at the top going into purple, going into blue and finishing with green.

My first attempt at mosaic did not work as I got grout on top of the tiles and left some gaps between a few of the tiles. When I tried to remove some of the dried grout from the top of the tiles it rubbed the paint off of some tiles.
