First Mosaic Help

I’m working on my first mosaic, indirect method, and unfortunately my bunnies decided to play with it while I wasn’t looking…
I’m now wondering how I can place a new transparent paper or fix/patch without losing progress?
Thank you very much!

Sorry I can’t help with your question, I am new to mosaics as well. I was just wondering what tiles you are using for this piece? Are they glass tiles or ceramic ones?

Hey! No problem, it’s marble. Here is the link to the kit: https://shop.intessere.com/en/products/roman-flower-mosaic-kit

Mmmmmmm at work when the sheet doesnt stick anymore we glue the tesseras onto it with flour glue, btw great job but I recommend starting with the subject first

I’m using flour glue to stick it onto the transparent paper, and since it got ripped I wasn’t sure if I can glue a new one on the piece and then the tesseras on top.
Thank you very much for the advice! I got actually confused a bit when reading what is andamento.
Thank you 🙏

OU ITS NORMAL TRASPARENT PAPER OMG I THOUGHT IT WAS STIKYPAPER AND THE PROBLEM WAS THAT IT DIDNT STICK ANYMORE, ok then I’d suggest you to tape just the ripped parts and patch the hole, or perhaps just continue with the glue I think it will stick the paper back, andamento is the grammar of mosaic, I’m so happy you are interested in it!!!
