No Days Mosaic Creations by Mary Anne Maslanka

A small wooden tray I made using No Days Mosaic Adhesive.

Mary Anne Maslanka of Annabelle Art Glass in Locust Grove, GA shared some of her mosaic art made with No Days Mosaic Adhesive film as well as No Days Groutless Mosaic Adhesive film.

I found this wooden cross at Hobby Lobby,
and I assembled it using No Days Groutless.

I have been using No Days Mosaic Adhesive almost as long as it has been produced. The folks at No Days have always been available and willing to take the time to answer any questions I have ever had…This company is doing everything right!

As a stained glass artist and instructor for many years, I had never tried mosaics until the No Days Mosaic Adhesive was introduced. It looked so easy, I had to try it….Then, I realized I could offer my students new projects using the product.

This mosaic rose was created by a teen in one of my mosaic classes using just scrap glass, her imagination, and No Days Groutless Mosaic Adhesive.

Now, every summer at a local senior center, I offer a glass on glass mosaic workshop so the senior members can bring their grandchildren for a fun few hours of using their imaginations and producing a small framed mosaic to take home…

I made this glass on glass hummingbird mosaic
using a stained glass pattern, and No Days Mosaic Adhesive.

I also really like the No Days Bail Bond. I use it on small projects to attach a bail to hang instead of drilling a hole in the glass….works great!

This is a little round box with a glass insert in the lid that I bought at a thrift store.
I used No Days Mosaic Adhesive, then grouted it.

I use the No Days Glaze when attaching a zinc frame to my panels. I have even used it on a wooden frame…

No Days Mosaic Mesh Advice from Leigh Adams

Hi Leigh, I just received my first order of No Days and am loving it! First, I just wanted to say thanks for the work you did here, pioneering this product for mosaic artists!

Corn accents on No Days Mosaic Mesh, which
will be affixed to the wedi board using thinset.

Second, a question: the No Days Mesh came with an opaque release paper, and the instructions recommended I sketch my design directly onto the mesh. I found I can’t achieve the level of detail I want by doing this, and would love to have my image directly behind the mesh to guide my work. Could you recommend a CLEAR, heat-resistant release paper I could use behind the mesh that would not obscure my image? Thanks so much for your time! Cheers! ~Lynn

Leigh Adams, the No Days Mosaic Mesh Queen

I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying the No Days mesh, Lynn! Since it is easiest to work in one foot squares (for installation purposes as well as ease of using the kitchen oven to adhere the tesserae), I create my design on any paper I want and divide it into workable shapes that I can piece together easily and conveniently. Then, instead of using the release paper (save it!), I use waxed paper and put the mesh on top of that. You can see your design and the mesh can be heated and will release. CAUTION! Test your wax paper. Some recent purchases have not been adequately strong, the paper was inferior. Try a test square and keep notes on what works for you And please let me see what you do!

UPDATE: I have found that Reynolds Parchment paper (the side with the writing on it) will also work well as a release liner.
