Here's a detail of one of the koi and flowers.

Used pale gray for the fish, pale green for the flowers, darker green for the leaves and blue for the water.

Your BB's are really awesome! They make me feel so peaceful. When using more than one color of grout, do you have to tape the different sections off? Also, do you do one section at a time letting them dry in between? I am debating trying to grout a piece with different colors.

mangomo,
I don't tape...I do it in sections and let it dry. There is a bit of merge- but I tend to like that rather than hard color lines.

And, serene is what I'm going for with these bb's. So, I'm glad to know that's the 'message' you get!
Thanks for looking!

You are more than welcome to do my birdbath! It is concrete with river stones sitting in it waiting for birds to come and frolic. We bought it over the wekend and so far as we know only my cat has been in there.
