mosaic outdoor wall art

updated tue 26 sep 00

I have been making wall art from a combination of my own tiles
and commercial tiles left over from my house building.
Does anyone know what surface I can/should use that will
be able to handle being outdoors.
I was using 1/4 inch thick hardibacker and once done, sealing it
with a concrete cure and seal. Upon reading the fine print
on the hardibacker it says for indoor use only.
I don't want anything too heavy as after mortar, grout and tiles
they get quite weighty.
Any suggestions?'
