Designing your mosaic can be one of the most fun, or one of the most challenging parts
of the process. One thing to consider when you're a beginner mosaic artist, is to have
really basic designs. Don't pick anything too complicated. So, one thing to think about
is maybe choosing a circle, or a flower, or a heart, something really simple that you
can learn the technique with. Or you can just choose some beautiful colors and let those
colors be a design of their own. For this project, we have just a very small frame,
so there's not a lot of room for design. I think we're going to make this more of a random
project, but if you have a bigger space, you have a lot of room to design anything you
want. Feel free to draw that on your substrate, so you know, have guidelines for when you
mosaic. If you're having trouble coming up with design ideas, don't worry. There are
lots of mosaic books, and design books at your bookstore and at the Library. You can
also check the internet, see other artists' work or design ideas, to help get you started.
