My web site was hacked (and outdated anyway) and I've got a couple of thousand
images to take, find, edit, the whole tedious catastrophy.
The bags are almost there, but we've had some supply delays. Nights we're ripping
silk flowers for Faerie bodices while watching "Dexter", hehe.
I'll post some pictures when I get the bags done Planolinda, I don't have any finished ones left.
Appliqued pieces, raw edges covered with various trims can work really well.
I got a little further on my lady before the deluge. The face scared me for a while.
I found the easiest way was to use full tiles til they had to be cut, then filling in with
specially cut ones, the exact opposite of what i had planned, which was doing the
pokey areas first.
I gave up on the epoxy grout, never had time to ask on the gardenart forum, and the only
instructions I could find for Spectra lok online were in Spanish. Lowes had the stuff, but no
instructions: -it was "a box of this and a box of that", no ratios for smaller amounts. And as
for advice on the handling/technique, zilch.
I bought some standard indoor/outdoor grout that I'm very familiar with, from a place that
"works with me" for years. (And then the work hit)
On that note, Steve, I can still return the stuff if I get convinced I can do the epoxy grout
successfully. So I appreciate your offer. I hear it's very sticky and hard to work with.
I'm down to the hands (ugh! not much space between those fingers!) and finishing the
"crown/petals whatever". I will be filling in the insides of the petals with patching concrete.
I don't foresee any career in mosaics coming up, the only way I got through this was with
D.D.s spare ipod full of books on tape (very funny one, new to me, by Douglas Adams, on
traveling the world in pursuit of endangered animal species!)
Here she is as far as I got.
