[Nfb-krafters-korner] questions regarding mosaic tiles

[Barb Roland]

ummm, yes, a couple of small pieces, very much a  beginner, I’m currently working on a bowling ball project using flat marbles, then I have some round stepping stones I plan to mosaic with small tiles. The stuff you place between the tiles is called grout. I know someone out in California who is legally blind and has been doing mosaic for years, has even had her own showings.
