Process & Production

First, I got grey, pink and white mosaic stones.
Then I cut the mosaic stones and worked on them with pliers and placed them on the template. Then mixed some putty and applied the putty to the support plate with a spatula, so that the grooves were approx 1cm deep at the end. After this I pressed the support plate with the putty side on the placed mosaic and pressed, so that the stones pressed into the putty, then I could turn it over. Afterwards I put some kind of stamp paper on the mosaic, sprayed it with water and then let it soak in for a while. then turned the paper of and then filled the gaps between the stones with diluted putty, by spreading it between, with a wet sponge. It also makes the putty smoother to coat. After drying i cleaned the mosaic with a dry sponge.
