*taptaptap* Hello?

10 years ago

I've always wanted to try my hand at mosaic, and decided that the time is now. I found this board while researching, but it seems you've all flown the coop! I'm about 8yrs too late!

I'm currently collecting plates and glass for my 36sq ft (not a typo) kitchen backsplash. Since my tess are going to be all different thicknesses and the thought of working direct makes my newbie self nervous, I'm thinking double indirect, thinset on hardibacker. I'll leave spaces so I can screw it into studs through the existing drywall, cover the screws with tess, then grout in place. This will give me tons of play time while designing, as well as a nice smooth finished surface. Does this sound about right?

I've learned so much from the old posts on this board, even with the disappointing broken links to pictures. Has the board simply died or is there a new hang out that I haven't found yet?
