The picture of my mosaic has been formed to capture a setting of nature. The mosaic is not entirely finished though the sun and outer tiles are chipped, and will cause a hazard if you run your finger down the edge.

Criteria of Success

Criteria of Success:

·       Never put the tiles to close together and try to put the tiles in a space no bigger than a match stick’s width.

·       Always measure your tiles so they fit into the picture the way you want them to.

·       Always cut the tiles in a proper measurement because the bigger the tile is the less possibility it will fit into the picture frame.

·       Stick the tiles on after you finalise your decision on where you would like to place them.

·        Use the pliers that are meant to cut in curves or the pliers that cut straight so that it would fit on the picture. 

 

My Mosaic Picture-Flower

The difficulties I had when making some of this mosaic was that the tiles were to close and that there was an uneven path on the flower. I had to decide on where to put the tiles because it was very hard seeing where they should go when there wasn't much room. So i had to take the tiles of and replace them so the fitted correctly.
