Mosaic Tools of the trade

I prefer to use glass so therefore the above items are for this useage. When people use true mosaic material, they require a tile nipper, purchased at any home hardware store. The above items are a glass scorer (to create lines), glass cutter or nipper, flat plyers to break the glass, a glass cutting mat (not shown), protective eyeware for flying shards and of course, bandages. I like to use Weldbond glue for my projects. It dries quickly and clear. You will need a base for your project. At the beginning, it is best to use a flat surface. Afterall, you are just learning. Eventually you can migrate into 2 or 3 dimential projects.
