Author Content GlassJeff Toronto Canada November 07, 2007 03:34 PM Post #4168304 Hi Everyone, I've been doing stained glass for about a year now and in that time have accumulated a lot of glass leftovers that I would like to use in a mosaic, rather than getting rid of. The only thing is that I have never done a mosaic before. I was wondering if anyone who knows about mosaics would give me a run down of the process used to make one. Are there any particular important things I should know about (for example, can I use any grout). Any help would be great.

Good way to use old windows too.
