Tina and Tim have been working with mosaics since the early 90's, Well before the stained glass and
tile mosaic craze swept the land. "When we first started selling mosaic art there wasn't any pre made
mosaics in the craft stores. A few years later we started seeing candleholders and storm lamps
everywhere!" It really took a while for mosaics to catch on as a craft. There was no how-to info on
creating mosaics. We just had learn to by trial and error. The first glue I used has literally destroyed
my first few years worth of art. It seemed to work fine, and was supposed to be a glass glue. Within a
few years the glue had lost its adhesive element and turned milky white..... The glass literally popped
off falling off of the windows in a slow erosive manner."
Their mosaic art, Tina's in particular has been a big influence in the art side of mosaics. Tina' s glass
window mosaics were the first I had ever seen. Outside of us it took probably 7 years for us to see
another window mosaiced by stained glass. The predominant use of beads and bobbles to create
mandalas. That is another brainchild of Tina. As far as I know, she was the first to do this." We never
could find a glue that satisfied us. That is the reason there is MAC glue today. It was created out of
necessity.
