| Do I need to be concerned at all about the curves in the pottery pieces, or will it all just work itself out? I guess I mean re: the gluing...and whether or not there will be plenty of 'contact' to the backer material if the piece is curved? |

| Maybe you could nip some of the center medallions designs out to use as a focal point in your project ?
Nice score ☺ |

| I agree get that hammer or wheeled nippers out!!!! When you used the curved pieces you often have to use a lot more thinset to adhere them because of the curve but I have seen some awesome backsplashes made out of dishes. They have even cut the cups in half and stick them up and use them to hold a sponge or flowers or whatever!!!!
Cant wait to see what you come up with!!! |

| Birds, oh my gosh, I didn't see this one, thank you so much
for mentioning it.
Love that pitcher, how adorable is that? Love it!
The backsplash is loading, but what I can see thus far is
fabulous! Dial-up is killing me, but it's well worth the wait!

| Love your backsplash, are you using mastik to glue the pcs on, and then an unsanded grout?
Thanks for posting those pics, they are really nice.
