Thanks guys,...yes Loyd, the diameter is 12 inches. I`ve got another neat one on the way...with a little bit of tempered glass. It came out pretty nice. I`m grouting it tomorow or so, and posting it for you to see...

Okay, you had my attention with the fabulous mosaic,
but now you are teasing me with tempered glass?

I'll definitely be anxious to see that one!

Hi Charmers,

Ooh, I do see the tempered glass, I do, I do! Very nice!

Hmm. Which color to grout? Well, I'm no expert, but based
on a project I did last year, I would say a light color is likely
out of the question, or at least it would be for me.

I hope others will comment, as I wouldn't want you to take
only my advice. It depends on what you want the piece to do.

:-) You've been very busy, keep up the great work!

Could you make a small sample board to test grout colors? The look would be totally different depending on the choice you make.

It is a great piece! Love the colors!

Thanks guys,...I dont know why,...but I`m leaning towards a dark color. I know it will absolutely stay nice with a light one too,...but I just feel that a darker grout is ment for this piece !!

I`m going to look into that sample board thing !!!

Wonderful clock! So whimsical and happy, must be influenced by living on a tropical island! My vote for your heart is also a dark grout...dk. blue or black? Will make those colors pop! Can't wait to see it! sue

Charmers,
I love it! I've been wanting to do a clock for a while.
I have some questions. What is your substrate? Where do you get your clockworks? How do you treat the back for accomodating the clockworks?

Thanks,
Kimmy

Hi,...I was gone for a long while,...I`m sorry,...I just had a ton of things to do. Over here we had school vacation ,...so I had like a dozen kids doing mosaics at the shop. They had fun,...but I`m soooooooooo tired !!!!!
I got those clockworks at diamondtechcrafts.com I think. And for the backing accomodation I let my husband router the back. Like a small square,...and drill a hole in the middle. So it sits neatly into place.
I`ll be posting a nice picture I did customize for a wedding.
