Mosaic backsplash update

In between Spirograph quilting session I've been working on the fish backsplash a bit.

I'm filling in the background with these round glass tiles that my friend gave me. Luckily I started at the bottom.

About 3/4 up the right edge I realized that they might not fit perfectly inside my frame. I have a lot of cut tiles around the fish but I don't want a whole row of cut tiles at the top. When I set the frame I never even thought to check the size of the frame with the tile. But I can fix this.

I have half a box of the frame tile so I just chiseled off the existing frame and I'll redo it after the water is done. I'll probably have to remove the right side too. No biggie. I'm just making sure that the top row of tile is level. You can see that the dots aren't going to line up perfectly in this and I'm cool with that too. There are some gaps and shifts int he pattern. It's pretty much impossible to keep everything straight  around the fish and it actually gives a little movement to the water. More importantly this is a backsplash that's under a sewer pipe so how perfect does it really need to be? 

​Don't worry, the fish will really stand out once it's grouted. They will all be outlined in white.
