In this informative tutorial, Tami Macala, founder of Mosaic Arts Online, shares the benefits of the translucent grout Starlike Crystal Evo. Through a demonstration and the sharing of other artists' work, Tami teaches how this grout can transform the way you grout a mosaic with tesserae that has a colored body. When applied in the grout joints, (interstices) this special translucent grout will absorb and reflect the color of the tessera body.
Whether you use stained glass, Mexican Smalti, or other colored body tesserae, this product can transform the way you create mosaics with multiple grout colors. Many people ask how to grout with multiple colors. Now by using just this product you will have all the benefits of multiple color grouts without all the mixing and matching of your grout pigments.
