How to make a mosaic?

The indirect method of making a mosaic involves creating the mosaic 'upside down' onto of a sheet of brown paper. The tesserae are stuck face down onto gummed paper, which is then set in a bed of grout, flipped over and the paper can be washed away later when the mosaic has set.

For large scale works the indirect method is invaluable as it allows you to work on a mosaic away from the final site. This is particularly handy for the larger projects (e.g. carpet floors) or for mosaics that are difficult to access due to other objects or obstacles in the way. It is also a fantastic method to use if the mosaic needs to be broken into sections.

For example :

This method is easier than the indirect method as you get to see what you are putting down and can move tesserae around if you don't like it straight away.

You have to be quite fast when you are doing it this way as often the adhesive can set quite quickly and if you don't make the decision to move a piece immediately it will end up stuck there!

You can either butter each piece of tesserae with your chosen adhesive or you can put a small amount on the base surface (enough for around six pieces) where you can then put the tiles on top of the glue.

The direct method of making mosaics is ideal for your first mosaic as the tesserae are laid the 'right' way up so that the top of the tesserae becomes the surface. This technique is useful when the material used has a different appearance on the front and back faces.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo born in 1907 in in Coyoacán , México.She was Mexican painter.

Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6, 1907. Kahlo had allegedly wanted the year of her birth to coincide with the year of the beginning of the Mexican revolution so that her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico. At age 6 years, Frida developed polio, which caused her right leg to appear much thinner than the other. It was to remain that way permanently.  Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as Naïve art or folk art.

She died on July 13, 1954.
