You can paste this mosaic on the webpage or use it as a wallpaper for your PC screen. But of course the most interesting variant is to print it on a mug, a T-shirt, a bag or a mousepad.

Cement Mosaic Stones? not surface mosaic with grout as other have referenced?
and you dont want to buy Diamondcrete or Flashcrete from a hobby shop?
Well… you can make it on your own: go to home depot and ask how to make cement (dont do quikcrete or sacrete- it gets left around and absorbs moisture and throws off the amount of water you will need).
ingredients;
sand, lye, and mortar or something- my mom makes it herself- it took her years to work out all the kinks- talking to a lot of cement makers.
problem is it takes a lot ot finesse- and you cant keep the extra stuff lyin around due to moisture- you cant pop the stone out for 3 days and it needs constant moisture every hour or so, AND you need to put some sort of rebar or reinforcement if its a big stone or bench.
and if you dont make it right- you dont find out until you pop it out and you did all that glass work for NADA- ugh! so frustrating, i speak from experience.
Diamondcrete/Flashcrete set in ONE HOUR, no rebar needed because it is such a dense and strong mixture. AND SUPER SMOOTH!!
so if you still wanna make you own- go to home depot/lowes and ask the peeps there how to make cement from scratch and tell them you dont want to "just add water" bag.
good luck, seriously! you'll need it!

lay out your chosen design first when you are happy standard tile adhesive or no nails will stick it on

I would say things in the
brown family: camel, coffee, brown-gray, slate-brown, chocolate;
some in the green family but that gets sticky because not all greens will,
dark blues
Certain reds
Not yellow, violet, purple
Just my humble options
Good Luck
