Artist math is real. 😅 I sat down to “just work for 10 minutes”…and suddenly 45 minutes disappeared. This is what happens when you’re deep in the mosaic process (or being creative in general!)…selecting tesserae, adjusting placement, and getting completely lost in the details (in the best way). If you’ve ever blinked and lost track of time while creating…you get it. Shop the tools and materials I actually use below. 👇 For mosaic tips, tutorials, inspiration, and so much more please visit my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/julieweilbacher, and follow @julieweilbacher on Instagram. mosaic crafting artisttools artmaterials handmadeart artiststudio diywallart groutlessmosaic craftsnight momsnightout LTKHome

These retro-inspired glass rods and murrini are full of cheerful summer color in bright yellow and orange. ✨🍊

With their whimsical, starburst-style design, they bring a fun, citrusy vibe to mosaic art, mixed media projects, and creative crafts.

I love keeping a variety of glass rods and murrini in my studio because they’re so versatile — sometimes they’re the star of the show, and other times they’re the perfect little detail that adds depth and interest. Bold, eclectic, and full of personality.

These 8 and 10-drawer metal cabinets are my fave storage units in my mosaic studio. I have 2 of the black 8-drawer units. They’re durable, fit perfectly under my work table, and allow me to store away my most-often used items. 🖤

There are drawer inserts available as well — highly recommend! — which allow you to customize what and how your organize your stuff. I have one on a set of the casters, and the other is on the plinth (which I prefer).

In the cabinets I store hand tools, pads of paper, pens/pencils, extra office supplies, and project trays. For mosaic tips, tutorials + inspiration please visit my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/julieweilbacher, and follow @julieweilbacher on Instagram.

People always ask why mosaics take so long…

This is why.

Every single piece is hand-cut and hand-placed…one tiny tessera at a time. No shortcuts, no machines, no mass production. Just patience, precision, and a deep love for the process.

It’s slow…but that’s what makes it meaningful.

Sharing a few of my go-to tools + adhesives that are always part of the process ✨

Not every week needs a plane ticket to feel full.

When my spring break travel plans changed, I leaned into a “buffet of days”—a little gardening, a little creative work, a lot of baseball, and some really good food along the way. ✨

There’s something about mixing the things you love that just works. It felt productive, grounding, and honestly…better than the original plan.

Also: discovered a big issue with a mosaic stepping stone 👀 (mosaic friends, we’ll be talking about this soon).

If you’re in a season of slower plans or changed plans...this is your reminder that it can still be really good.

Friendly reminder: your art or creative projects don’t have to be perfect…they just have to exist. 💛

I’ve played around with wood eggs using everything from vitreous glass and stained glass to beads and broken plates...and none of them are perfect.

But that’s kind of the point.

If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready” or “good enough,” this is your sign to just start creating.

Spring is the perfect time for it. 🌸
