Mosaics and Me

Such a gorgeous Floral mixed media piece by Mishu Jain 👌.. All this in my online class. Mishu is very creative and has beautifully balanced so many colours 🤩. Well done Mishu! A lovely grouting session today. Looking forward to see the cleaned and finished piece 🙌💖.

P.s. I have put my classes on hold due to Covid. I will be back with my teaching next year. Stay tuned for updates 😊.

Lovely blues on this wine bottle by Tia. Besutifully created. Well done Tia 👏🤩

Flowers are a favourite with everyone 🌸🌻🌼🏵. My students learning a variety of flowers in glass and ceramic. Inspiration as always is from my own floral projects 🤩. Surabhi, Mishu and Tia, well done 👌.

As a mosaic artist, I enjoy passing on my experience in teaching mosaics to my students. I have been teaching for over 10 years. All my students are good learners with varied skill levels.

As a teacher and artist, it is great to see my students showing interest and growing in their work. And it is also lovely to hear a word or two of appreciation for all the effort and love I put in.

But unfortunately, it hasnt been so and today I am sharing it with all of you.

It is rather sad that some of my students have been dishonest and joined my classes with an ulterior motive.

For starters, they dindt have the courage to give credit where due. After all that they have learnt from me , they say they learnt in 'UK' or 'Delhi University' or anything else which is hurtful and disappointing.

They have not only copied my designs and cut outs, and called them their own, these women have blatantly lied saying "i know nothing about social media" and parallely, run FB and Insta accounts selling what they were making in my class, posting pictures from my account with no permission and credit. All this behind my back.

One of these women ordered mosaic pieces from me and put her own name on it and passed them on to friends and family.

The women I am talking about have learnt from me for a good 2 years, lying all along and I totally trusted them. They were my students from 2013 to 2018 and their work is shared in my older posts from these years.

Few others have even gone ahead and shared their first mosaic pieces made here in my class, on various mosaic groups saying they are self taught.

Not going to name anyone but I hope they read this and dont lie to others.

I enjoy teaching. But such experiences are not pleasant. Be honest. You want to learn and then make your own mosaics, share it with everyone here in my class. You will be wished well.

Meanwhile, follow Moora Moora for all my lovely mosaic work 💖😊.

Making a mosaic is not as easy as it looks, as rightly pointed out by one of my students recently.

Sharing pictures from one of my ongoing projects. Just to get those rectangular, longish pieces to make the maze, I have spent hours cutting glass tiles into 3rds or more and further cuts to keep the size roughly the same. Loads of nibbling, tiles wasted, good pieces gone bad and so on.

And that is where I find my joy and satisfaction 😇. There is no short cut to making a good mosaic.

No pain no gain 😎.

Tia's hardwork and patience pays off. What a beautiful piece of work 🤩. Tia amazes me with her levels of patience and dedication. She has been with me in my virtual class for the past one year. I admire her dedication and committment. Well done Tia 👍🥳 .

Lovely one to one online session with Shweta Madnawat. I am so impressed by her dedication. With 2 little children and a corporate job, she was super keen to learn and took the time out. Really enjoyed connecting with her. Thanks for following my work 😊. Stay tuned and hope to see you again for more on this lovely art 🤩.

All set for a one to one session 🤩🎶🎊.

Remember this tissue box 🤩...Tia completed the mosaic on it this week and shared these lovely pictures. All this in my online class that she has been attending with much dedication and committment. Well done Tia 👏💖..its the best I have seen in my claas in the last one year 👍.

I have a fe**sh for mosaicing glass bottles 🤩 This here is a ketchup bottle. It was one to relax with.

And Beads, they are so cute 🥰. Tiny, rolling about, shiny, long ones and round ones 😍.

So threaded a few to go around the neck of the bottle.

And bought nothing new to make this bottle 😃.

Hello 🌞,

I created this piece on a 5 inch wide mdf board. The inspiration was capturing a small section of a rainforest where lives a tiny spider showing off its bright red spots.

You will learn how to create layers, work with multiple colours and how to include multiple cutting techniques.

A prior experience with making mosaics will be helpful.
