Some of the best places to find interesting china pieces are jumble sales and charity/thrift stores. Also, be sure to ask all of your friends and family to keep things they break. You could even ask at crockery shops if they have any breakages.

Mosaics Crafty Tip

You can cut glass with a stained glass cutter to create patterns you couldn't possibly make with nippers! It's totally worth it for a mosiac artist to learn how to cut glass, especially if you use stained glass tiles a lot in your projects. It will save you money in the long run!
