Re: More mosaic pics....progress!!

Hey shvuntz, let me know how that goes!

I'll be thinking of you today (giving moral support ) and would be very interested to hear all about your grouting exeriences along with any nifty tips and tricks you come up with.

I love how your mosaic is so bold and free! Do you ever spend hours agonising over which colour to chose for the next bit? I'd guess not, it looks as if it all just flows out of you...

Hi shvuntz,
Excuse my possible flight of fancy here, but do I see a Moorish theme in the mosaic? You are creating a unique work of art.

Re: More mosaic pics....progress!!

No real theme.....it just flooooooooooooooooooooooows!...

Finished!....had bloody murders with the grouting...to be honest we are not sure about the light grout...
But.....overall looks amazing at the bottom of the garden..I will learn from this, that a) I went a bit mad with what I put on it, made grouting a nightmare,had to fill gaps inbetween lidtops with an icing bag!
b) too many delicate nipples had casualties already knocked a few off ha ha, but calmed down now and will enjoy using it.
Made the most amazing pizza in it last night, it was a family event, and really went well..looking forward to the summer and experimenting, I fancy doing some stewed fruits, and breads...

Har har, grouting never was my favourite part of the process either.

Hey, it looks absolutely fantastic!! I like the white grout too, makes it all that much brighter. But my favourite bit has to be that head-shaped lid near the back ...

Re: More mosaic pics....progress!!

Hey Frances!..thank you. I am pretty much happy with the end results except..............we now have some cracks going into the mosaic...
So, now I'm calmer about it and we've had some casualties, I can enjoy it..we roasted a leg of lamb in it last weekend..very successful..

Oh and the head shaped thingy at the back..is the clever hubby who built it...bless him.
