[Nfb-krafters-korner] questions regarding mosaic tiles

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Has anyone done any mosaic tiling?  I have been reading a little bit  in 
the past about it.  When I went to India there was a blind school that I  
visited and the teenagers had made tables, serving cake plates out of wood and  
then tiled them.  It was amazing to touch them as they cut these smallish  
tiles and fitted them into some creative designs.  I wish I could see the  
colors, but they were described to me.
 
Going back when I was a kid, I had made tile hot plates up at my school  
play ground in the summer.  I think we glued the tiles in place and then  
poured something to fill in between the tiles.  Then after it was totally  dried 
we kinda polished the tiles to get the chalky white stuff off of it.
 
I tthink I want to investigate some more into this.
 
Anyone has done this before?
