Mosaic Mesh by RebeccaHolmes on May 9, 2022 5 stars
Pros
Very easy to use, cut to size. Large size gives you several projects use. With plastic coated pattern under the mesh its very easy to align mosaic pieces without getting a wiggly pattern.
Cons
Be sure to cut the mesh along a straight line on all sides if that is what your design requires.
Other Thoughts
This mess allows one to obtain a straight line for tile placement. Place pattern (drawn in heavy marker) under plastic wrap, then place mesh on top. Tape all to piece of cardboard. Use small amounts of glue on tiles during assembly. Once all tiles have been placed cover project with a second cardboard, flip over and carefully lift mesh and tiles off the plastic wrap, let inverted mosaic dry upside down until ready to grout.

Easy to cut, beautiful deep orange with striations make this glass an eye dropping favorite. Large sheets allow for cutting larger pieces if patten flow is desired.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I used this Orange Pearl along with the Pink and Lavender version for a piece I entered in the AGF 2022 contest with winning results. The Oceanside line has allowed me to produced outstanding results with each of the variety of colors adding a vibrant effect in all of my projects.

Van Gogh Green, Copper and Gold by RebeccaHolmes on May 9, 2022 5 stars
Pros
Cuts like butter and the color is very rich.
Cons
Need to cut as close to pattern as possible as sanding should be minimized.
Other Thoughts
The green, gold and copper color combination is very striking and adds a level of richness to my projects. I used this for a border on a large mosaic and it turned out fantastic, adding depth and richness to my piece. I have also used several other colors of the Van Gogh line with great success.

Bullseye Clear Tekta Glass Pack - 90 COE by dvoragottlieb2 (top contributor) on May 9, 2022 5 stars

Clear Tapestry by RebeccaHolmes on May 9, 2022 5 stars
Pros
This glass cuts easily and the sheet size is a bonus. Adds an interesting texture to any project, very beautiful.
Cons
Need to be aware of the pattern alignment if you need to match the design from a piece next to one another for continuity.
Other Thoughts
I’ve used this clear tapestry to add texture and interest on many projects both as a border and a background with great results. The pattern is large enough to clearly see the pattern but not so large that it becomes “lost” on smaller pieces.

Cutter's Mate Mini Extra Starter Kit by kathigrose on May 9, 2022 5 stars
Pros
This stability cutting tool is the best I have ever used to cut accurate lines on pattern pieces. The padded handle is helpful for those days I have a lot of glass to cut and my hand and wrist don't get tired. I set this tool right next to my Beetles Bits system and they make a great duo for all of my cutting needs.
Cons
I don't see any cons.
Other Thoughts
I highly recommend this tool

Cons
I wish the size was 12" x 12". More is better.
Other Thoughts
This pack is a great value.

Complete Beetle Bits Starter Kit by kathigrose on May 9, 2022 5 stars
Pros
This was a game changer for me with angle and straight line cutting. So easy to use and accurate. This tool has helped me decrease my cutting glass time by more than 60%. Also has helped me to reduce grinding time as the angles are perfect.
Cons
I don't see anything negative about this great tool.
Other Thoughts
I wish I would have bought this tool set 15 years ago when I first started cutting glass.
