MOSAIC

Check out our mosaic-in-progress! Here are a few photos of some of the different steps and stages of this project. We started by breaking all of the tiles and separating them into different buckets and trays. It's also helpful to take the time to separate small pieces from large pieces of the same color.

Corn tassels and butterfly antennae are great examples of the need for tiny little pieces of tile.

A little bit at a time!
In the picture above, you can see how we masked off the corn in order to apply the grout. This was necessary because we wanted to keep the grout off the surrounding cinder blocks in order to maintain a smooth surface for future tiling.  
Check back in, we're going BIG!
