How do I cover a bathroom sink with beautiful glass tile squares?

How do I prepare and adhere small glass tiles (the kind you use for back splashes) to cover my bathroom porcelan sink . Can I do the same over a linoleum countertop?

Are you wanting to mosaic the inside of the Sink Bowl?? While you probably could do that with traditional mastic and grout, it would harder to clean toothpaste out of it.
it would be better to refinish sink with Tub and Tile Paint ( or or spray epoxy for appliances) and then tile the countertops around the sink.
In either case clean and scuff sand first to help Mastic glue the tile in place. Then Grout between tiles and seal the Grout.
While glass tiles and pebbles would be pretty, larger tiles with less Grout will be much easier to clean. I wonder if you could do a glass tile mosaic in the sink then use a thick epoxy resin over it to create an easier to clean surface.
I would refinish or replace the sink and use the glass tile as accents on counter and on things like the mirror frame and decorative shelves. Remember with glass tile you need a special mastic and apply neatly because it will show through the clear glass.
That would Not be recommended and very unsanitary. In regards to linoleum it needs to be removed first. Sorry.
