How to use





Tempered glass can be glued over pictures, decorative papers, or painted surfaces. Let your imagination be your guide Tempered glass can be painted with glass paints before gluing.
Breaking is sometimes easier when tapping a corner with a hammer instead of aiming for the
middle. Break with glass inside a garbage bag or similar for easy containment.

Clear adhesives to use for glass on glass:

Weldbond - It's major advantage is it's non-toxicity.
Bond527 - clear, fast-setting, but requires adequate ventilation.
Silicone - clear, but requires adequate ventilation.
Lexel - clear, but requires adequate ventilation.
Epoxy - type of glue or sealant that is generally mixed from two separate parts:
a resin and a hardener.

Sumukha First Mosaic Piece.

Mosaic with stained glass, tiles, tempered glass, etcsize 4ftX4ft-"Kalia Mardhan" The scene is from Krishna's childhood. Krishna Subduing the evil snake Kalia. the mythology goes like this- Kalia was a several headed snake living in the waters of the lake which was poisoned with his venom. Anybody who drinks from the lake died. People near around the lake pleaded Krishna to help. Krishna was only a small kid, but fought with Kalia, subdued him and danced on his head. Kalia humbled, decided to share the lake with the villagers.

Great Job Sumukha! I can't wait to see what you create next.
