TW, I've seen my local Home Depot hardware store sell small bags of ceramic tile bits but for the price they were asking, the cost of all the different colors could quickly add up. I've been told that you can go to a tile manufacturer directly and ask them however, I've yet to try this. My wahine has done some tile mosaic work in the past on an old table. How did she get the tile? She picked up some really cheap plates & stuff at a thrift store, took them home, wrapped them in an old towel and smashed them to bits with a hammer. The table came out great!
