Luckily cement is not very expensive, I can afford to make many mistakes in order to learn. I've learned to make a more stable and correct frame so that the mix doesn't leak, and made sure my mold stays flat on the glass when i stick them together. Sharp corners are also very tricky to pour, and I have to work quickly so that the cement don't harden and stick to the mold.
I started experimenting with free hand pouring. But i still need to figure out how to achieve a marbling effect. Right now it looks more like a camouflage pattern.
I also made a cement base and use my car as a press. The result is not bad, but i have a little bit of crack, not sure if that is from the pressure or my mixture wasn't correct, I may have put more water than usual, and the cement back is dryer than instructed.
A few days ago I tried to lay words into the tile, my imagination was to "print" a short poem or story into the tile. The result wasn't great. Looks like I need to make better letters and also sand down the tile face to reveal the words properly, like terrazzo process.
Thank you Maestro Juan, for your instructions. I'm learning so much from the process.

Prowadzący PlusHello sharon!! congratulations on your project. I was amazed by your tiles and all your ideas. The one with the small animal in the center I love as a model, the camouflage as you say is perfect as a marbling technique. I leave you a video that from minute 5.10 makes a marbling so you can see the technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Ysx9-fsl4 and another one in minute 8.10 you have another technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOQ75WYfq0&list=RDCMUCUi4aspUAMcEG5ZEdnOrBQg&index=1
I also loved the words, maybe you can put a cut tile (ceramic) and leave the letters with another texture. I really liked your work and I hope you continue to experiment and share with us. A hug!!!
