You’ve created your masterpiece. You have the perfect wall in your house. But what’s the best way of attaching it to that wall so that it won’t come crashing down and giving someone a serious head injury?
This question came up on the Moz Addict list today and Sonia King had words of wisdom and suggested a Z clip or French cleft system.
Z clips are often used in tile roofing so that may be a place to start if you don’t know where to find them.
If you want more info about French clefts, check out the files on the Yahoo Mosaic Addicts or MAO list.

It looks a bit different with the blue than I visualised but it still is okay and I’m reasonably happy with it. My glass cutting is improving although I’m continuously having to tighten the wheels on my cutters.
