Glass On Glass Mosaic Instructions
Have you ever tried Stained Glass Appliqué?
It’s a fantastically easy way of creating panels without lead or soldering. What’s more, you can use up all those scappy bits of leftover glass to create stunning panels.
So what is Stained Glass Applique? Basically it’s pieces of glass bonded to a base glass, with grouting filling the gaps in between.
This grouting becomes an important part of the design, as it reads solid black and renders the colours of the glass even more brightly.
There’s as many different approaches as there are people; ranging from very precise figurative work with minimal grouting, or bold, free, abstract designs that exploit the shapes of the grouting to maximum effect.
The page was guest-written by an expert who lives in the US, and it takes you right through the whole process.
If you want to find the best glue, and how to avoid unsightly squeezing out of the grout underneath the glass, this is the page for you. Go on, have a go!

Dear Millie, I have experimented with different glues and found that the new clear glue used for phones that dry with led light works great. Perfectly clear and no residue. You might give it a try.
That’s a great tip, thanks so much for posting it Golda, I (and everyone else) appreciate that.
