Shard Mosaic flower pot made from shards from plates, cups, tile, glass gems....even the flower pot is upcyled! I used rich dark terra cotta grout to pull the entire mosaic piece...

Hi! Thanks for your compliment about my Flower Power mosaic flower pot! I always use Cement based thinset mortar (tile adhesive) that is frost-resistant. It is in a powdered form and I always use some PVA - a liquid additive to this mixture to add extra strengh to the cement mixture. Also use frost-resistant grout - just look on the package to see if it is. I use the grouts and adhesives found at the (major) home improvement stores. Just make sure you use sanded grout for outside use. I then seal my outside mosaic work with a water-proof sealant. Thompson water seal for cement is great - just don't use that on bird-baths.
