"Make it Mosaics" shares this mosaic fabrication technique that is used when you have materials of various thicknesses and desire a flat surface. This method is often used for floor medallions and tabletops and is a traditional fabrication method originally developed in Italy. The tesserae are glued face down onto a temporary surface (brown paper) with a water-soluble paste. We recommend flour paste and this video demonstrates the simple process of making your own paste. We also demonstrate setting the mosaic into a mortar setting bed. Mosaic Classical Technique Reverse Method on Brown Paper Tutorial is comprehensive of this traditional mosaic method.
