It's been over a month since I worked on this mosaic. You might remember that I got this far and realized that I was going to run out of blue glass penny tile. It took a lot of driving around town, but I finally found it and was able to order an extra sheet. It was NOT cheap but at this point I didn't care. Nothing else was going to work. I finally got back to it this week. It really didn't take that long to finish the blue penny tile. Just a couple of hours and it was done. I originally planned to tile over this block of wood (that I can't remove because it holds up the sewer pipe). But one day I decided that panting it would be so much easier and It worked out just fine. Then I was able to get my wet saw out and cut some time for the frame edge. I'm pretty darned pleased with my mitered corners. Here it is! Ready for grouting. I had hoped to do that soon but because the grout has VOCs I have to heave the windows open so that will wait until mid to late September when I can have the windows open for a few days. Compared to that bog wall, grouting this will be a piece of cake.

Vickie, I love your mosaics. The fish are awesome. You are talented in so many areas! 7/27/2019 08:19:04 am
Excellent. The new tile matches wonderfully. The wall looks really impressive in the photo. I bet it is nicer in person.

You must be very pleased with yourself, it's a great addition to you environment rather than white cement block. Now lets see if I can navigate the 'I'm not a robot' pictures.

I really liked the previous walls, but this one has to be my favourite of them all. I love the fishies but of course you know it's the blue background that makes me happy!

Good job on getting the tiling done. I didn't know your were going to put a border around the fish, but that makes sense (kind of like they are in a tank) and it turned out so good! Comments are closed.
