Mosaic artists....does anyone mosaic using tiles? I have lots of tiles and have not yet gotten into mosaicing yet...however I have tiled my patio with lots of different tiles...if you do... do you cut your tiles or nip them?

I really like the assorted tiles you have used. It is beautiful. I would love to have a patio floor like that, but my husband is a little too conservative.
Some friends of ours in Italy did something similar in one of the bathrooms. They also used small (about 3") river stones in the center and then covered the floor with a high gloss protective lacquer of some sort.
