[Nfb-krafters-korner] questions regarding mosaic tiles

[jill rossiter]

Hi,
I have a sighted friend who made a mosaic picture for me.  She used an old 
wooden glass payned window.  She found it for free when some neighbors were 
remodeling.  she made a printed letter R in the center and then used stones 
and tiles to make flowers and a sun on it as well.  I have it on my screened 
in back porch!
Jill

I would love to run such a course but need to do some research on the
Internet for more info before teaching others.

Barb,
I agree with you, would really enjoy learning more about this craft. Right
now I am at a complete loss on even how or where to start. I would like to
know more.

Hettie, where can one get the templates? I too would love to learn more
about mosaics, this would make an awesome email class.
