This is really cool.

You'd need a rubbing of the shape or something so you could prep the tiles elsewhere right?

You couldn't just roll up with the tile cutter.

You can attach the mosaic tiles to a removable mesh fabric like seen in the above video.

That reminds me of the Toynbee Tiles. I think the pothole mosaics are beautiful - any art is better than plain concrete and asphalt. I really like looking for new graffiti in my city on my walks, and my SO and I used to trade photos of a local tagger's drawing whenever we saw them - especially if we were far from their usual territory.
