Hi mamashack,
Thank you for your question.
Yes, plexi-glass will work nicely as the base for your glass mosaic.

"You can mosaic most any hard surface. Wood, hard plastic, hard paper
mache' type objects, glass to glass, over existing ceramic surfaces,
plexiglass, concrete and just tons of other things I don't have
listed. If you want your glass colors to be true, paint your project
surface white before you glue on your glass. If you'd like a
"different" look, try glueing a mirror to your surface and then glue
clear... "

"Another medium to use would be plexiglass. Plexiglass will have some
of the same transportation issues as real glass, but has better
durability. Plexiglass also comes in varying colors and can be painted
with translucent acrylics to achieve an effect similar to real stained
glass."
