A fun mixed media project today! I created a paper mosaic canvas using the new kit by Tim Holtz. So here it is!
“Tea time” is going to decorate my kitchen from today!
Can you see how all those little pieces look like real broken tiles?! Wish you could see the effect in real life! This paper mosaic canvas really looks like a real mosaic!
The technique is super easy although a little time consuming as you have to stick all those little tiles. But remember, you decide how small or big your tiles will be!
I also had a chance to use my new distress crayons in this project and I find them so soft and easy to smudge so they are my new favorites when it comes to shading.
I have also used the vintage collage medium which transformed my canvas from bright to vintage looking just by brushing it on.

Absolutely fabulous!!!!
Fantastic, it’s really beautiful and magical!Dear Vicky, you really have a lot of talent!Thank you to you !
Very clever Vicky. I love the effect. Ginger is so cute, I can’t believe he is not causing more chaos on your craft desk. My ginger cat normally lies on the couch in my studio and sleeps. I agree it is hard to keep cat hair off everything, great tip to use a box to keep the dust and hair off the wet Glossy Accents. Why didn’t I think of that?
I just love this idea. I can’t wait to try for gifts. Great job as always. Thanks!
This canvas is just stunning Vicky! Thank you for sharing your wonderfully talented inspirations with us!
Love how you added the other elements to the little “tiles.” What a great project, Vicky!
Very cool technique. You said the glaze was thinner than GA, did you have any trouble with it spilling over the edges of the tiles? Also, do you know it it yellows over time? The glossy accents does, which I wish it didn’t?
WOW – FABULOUS canvas Vicky!!!
LOVE the mosaic, teacups and gloss!!!
I love your canvas Vicky! The glossy surface of your paper tiles gives then a fabulous look!
Great video as usual. My cat George is always on my craft desk also. It’s funny because i have 2 other cats and they couldn’t care less.
Really neat project. Love the design as well as the colors you used. Great video…thank you for showing TH new products.
This project was very fun to watch Great Job Vicki!
Wow Vicky, fabulous mosaic! You really ignited my interest to try this techique. Is there any difference between distress crayon and faber gelato?
