I think you need to learn the joy of vinegar to remove the haze on your mirors.

I price my 4x6 photo and mirror frames at $22-$28 tho mine are a bit more finished on the sides, I don't let the edges of glass or tile show on the edges of the frames I make sure they are covered with grout or beads so they don't hurt anyone.

So how long does it take you to make each one? Don't forget to add in the time it took you to cut the glass. What kind of money do you think your time is worth? What is the cost of your materials? Add that in and then double it. There are all kinds of small costs that add up too, time it took you to purchase your supplies, gas that you used to get the supplies or shipping costs to get the supplies to you, utilities, etc. Where are you selling? If booth fees are involved your need to take them into account to. p

I agree totally with Pea.......don't think I can add anything as far as advice...you must have elves helping you....! I never get tired of looking at others' mosaic projects...it keeps me inspired. Vinegar water is a good thing!

Oh yeah, I meant to explain I will clean before putting them out as I may mark them up again. But thanks, I will do the vinegar water thing.
pea_ can you please tell me or show me how you finish the sides. I use the ends of the tiles to cover all of the edges. The one that shows up on the bottom was my first so I will probably not sell it.
I get the mirrors pre-cut. I think they were 5 for $2.50.
Thanks.

I like that last one the best, I think your style is better complimented by the charcoal grout for sure.

Natasha, Cute and cheerful. I agree with pea, don't sell yourself short. Mosaics, no matter what size, take time and money. I'll bet you have more than $5.00 in each of them - time, money, materials.

I like the last piece too it's just a bit rude-a-mentory(forgive the phonic spelling). The sides are not straight and I am learning what works best. That charcoal grout makes me nervous. I used it on a couple of other pieces that meant something to me and I felt the charcoal didn't give it justice so I did white over it and now some of the white came off and it looks funny. I haven't given up.

I don't have any frames on hand to show, I'll try to explain. By edge of frame I mean the thin sides like where it sits and the other 3 thin edges. You have the edge of your glass showing there I apply beads to my edges, seed beads or those larger seed bead looking ones or any other beads that match and look good. If the thickness of the frame allows i might use glass gems on the edges. I usually grout the larger beads and the glass gems but don't grout the seed beads. I just don't like the edges of the glass shards to show cause even filed they could hurt someone if handle wrong. With tile shards i can usually wrap grout around the edges so it will stay but the glass shards won't grasp the grout the same way so i usually use beads. They look very finished afterwards and way better than the cheapies in the stores.

I was thinking of trying some of the copper foil tape the stained glass artists use but I can't find any local.

Well how sweet are THOSE! Never get tired of looking at pictures of mosaics. It sooths my soul. Good job. How long have you been mosaicing? I like charcoal grout also. Your style is like I used to try to achieve when I painted in oils - "painterly". They are just beautiful and happy at the same time. LOVE the flowers.

Very nice.
