In this short video I demonstrate how to lay your tesserae. (the little blocks of stones we learned how to make in the 2 previous videos)
We are using the reverse method here: the tesserae's shiny polished face is glued to the model, upside down. so what we see while building the mosaic is actually a mirror image of the final mosaic.
Once all the tesserae are placed, a rigid support is glued with thinset mortar on top of them and left it to set for 36 hours minimum. Then the whole thing is flipped, and the model removed from the top; there appears the final mosaic for the first time ! This will be the object of future videos.
With a special appearance of Mugen, great destroyers of foxes, grand destructeurs des renards.
