After hubby dropped a sheet of tempered glass during
construction of a window, I swept the pieces up and set
them aside.

A couple months went by, then I remembered we had a
large Lotus bowl from a local thrift store that needed 'a little something'.
Using Beacon 527 adhesive, I applied tiny pieces of the tempered
glass shatters all over the Lotus bowl. Yesterday I finished the
coverage, but left the foot uncovered.

While it looks lovely as is, I'd like to grout it, but not sure
what color. Naturally, black came to mind, and likely I'll go
with that, maybe use a little Rub-n-Buff to add highlights here
and there.

What was a lightweight bowl now weighs over four pounds.
It is 7 1/2" wide x 10 1/4" tall.

Stay tuned for the grouted image...
