Finishing the Leafy Mosaic Table Top
02 October 2011
Leafy Mosaic table top, second stage
I used clear silicone to glue glass drops and ceramic pieces onto the glass centre. I will use black grout to fill the spaces in-between the glass drops.
I re-arranged the leaves. Tomorrow I can start glueing the pieces down. The edge tiles should be coming out the kiln now.

| the black grout will change the effect a lot. be prepared for that. A lantern hanging under the table, or a sunbeam will illuminate the centre of the table. |
 |
| all ready to start sanding sharp edges and then sticking them down. This is the boring and slow part. I only manage small sections at a time. But doing things properly now saves a lot of hassle later. |
 |
| Lots of work to do, and I am IMPatient, I dont want to wait any longer, I want to finish this in time for the Leisure Isle crafts festival in 2 weeks time (I think) |
