You should always wear safety glasses for protecting your eyes when working with mosaics or tiles or any project, for that matter.
Here are the glasses I use. I also have some that completely touch my face and fit over snugly over the bridge of my nose for when I am working with glass that is really prone to shatter and fly away in small shards.

Even though these glasses are “open” somewhat in design, they do come around and cover the sides of my eyes and they fit close to my face in the front.

You will notice that my workbench has slats across the top which leave space for pieces to fall through. I do NOT want glass and tile shards all over the place, so I use an old, large metal tray to actually cut my tile over. This makes it easy to sweep any shards into the trash can.

NOTE: Pieces of tile can fly away when you clip or cut them! ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS wear safety glasses!!!!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
