I order my supplies from E-bay, a glass cutter and a ceramic tile cutter are 2 different tools you can start out with, glass isn't as thick as tile, so the need for 2 different cutters is required, you can get free stencils off the internet, and free advice, buy going to " ask.com" and type in how do i do mosaic art, or any other question you have, all you have to do is ask, it's the best site you can use for information you want or questions you need an answer to. I love it, and I learned this way, and now have been doing mosaics for approx. 4 years. A wonderful hobby, and if you go to e-bay, and type in mosaic supplys, you'll find everything you need to get your craft going. I'll post a few pictures here for you to see what I've done, and when you grout, go to your HD and buy a small box of white grout and than depending on what color you want your grout to be, go buy some ' ridd clothing dye" and color your water before mixing your water and grout together, it works and your colored grouts cost more, and you may not ever use all you buy. I like to use different colored grout depending on the colors I use in my art work. Hope this has helped some, and please, post your first finished project!!
