I know I sound like a broken record but . . .BLACK grout.

That is cool beyond words. In my amatuerish opinion ... black grout . Bright colors and black grout go together like ice cream and hot fudge . LOL

Wow! Love your mirror! It's just so cool! What a fun and unique design. Love it!!

WOW! Is that ever a masterpiece!! So COLORFUL!! I keep going back and looking at it and seeing something new each time! Who wouldn't look beautiful in a mirror framed like that?
Black was my first reaction, also.

That is just TOOOOO cute! I love it! Definitely will keep looking back at it! WOW!!! What a fun, FUN mirror!
Hmmmm just looked at the 'up-closes' in the pic with the salt/sugar shaker top (is that what it is??? so clever!) there are some red tiles to the right.. look like red and clear. Are they tiles? Beads? ENquiring minds want to know. :)
Yup... black or at least very dark.
(And... love that you ran the tess. over onto the mirror!)

You have a cheerful spirit, Flag. I just love all the colors you use. Your mirror is beautiful!!!

Da-haannngg! Your mirror's incredible. The colors are amazing and the design is well executed. I agree, a dark grout would make it pop.
BTW: Thanks to TMG, now I'm craving a hot fudge sundae!

Holy Cow that is great. Its so fab I didn even notice it wasnt grouted!

OH DARN Flicker is not working now. I will have to come back later. Sounds wonderful. Can't wait!!!

Flicker is having a massage - I WILL return.

Flicker was having a massage yesterday too when I tried to see pics in another post. Geez, I'd love to be Flicker... :O)

Oh again I love your work!!So much whimsy and style packed into one piece...Grat piece of art Flag..all the little goodies on it are fun to search for.

KATE- The yellow in the upper left corner is a salt shaker cut in half. The red tiles I think you are asking about are red glass tiles alternating with some red/yellow marbles. I have done the outside edge with 1/2" mirror tiles. I hads no plans for this, just did it as it came to me,a lot of stuff for one mirror, but then...who cares?
The tess running out onto the mirror just sort of happened, probably will make it hard to clean.LOL
I have a mate to this one that I have almost done, very differemt. I got both of these at a YS for $5.00. So not a lot invested in them.
Glad all of you like it. I keep looking at it and still cannot visualize black grout. It seems so harsh. I am not a big fan of black. Isn't that wierd, I use a lot of color, but don't like black??How crazy is that??
Thanks to all of you for your input and kind comments.

Flickr is back and THAT ROCKS. I'm gonna buck the crowd and say dark grey... I love it!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW Flag that mirror is WONDERFUL!!!!!

You have been putting your studio to good use. I certainly think if you keep creating works of art like this you should be able to support yourself in fine style selling them!!! WOW

Ducking Turquoise Grout. As Shinny as you can get it.

Just BEAUTIFUL!!!

Chris

WOW love it all. Can't wait to see it grouted.

I guess the massage is over; I can get into your flikr account now. WOW--what a Mirror! We need lessons from you! FLAG that is OVER THE TOP!

P.S. Will you please e-mail me (mccumberpe@cableone.net)?
I have an unrelated question. Thanks!

Gosh flag that is really awesome!!! I feel like I am just saying what everyone else says!!! BLACK GROUT!!

You are getting so creative with all these plates and cups and salt and pepper shakers and such!!! I just dont have the imagination for stuff like that...wish I did!!!

Do you have time to make a small sample board for grout? That helps me alot. I take some of the tiles I used in my piece and glue them down to a small board and then grout them in all the different colors of grout Im thinking of using and then I can decide better which one I like. It works really well for me.

Donna

WOw, that is just beautiful!! I agree with TMG those bright colors scream for black...At least something dark!!

Maria

That is the most delightful piece I've seen FOREVER!!! I LOVE this. You beat all. I absolutely adore the little shelves you made w/the cup handle as brackets. W/LOVE to get inside your creative head to learn these wonderful tricks. Take the crown - this is truly art.

Chick- I am going to try to do a sanple board today so I can get past my quandry. I seem to bog down at grouting time.
Pat, I will email you now.
SLOW- I don't want the crown, you keep it. Glad you like the mirror. I can show you all the tricks as I use them, I make up as I go along. I never know what I am going to do next. Thank you for the kudos.
Carol

LOVE your colorful mirror. Wish I could see it in person. Pictures just don't show everything.

Wow...that is beautiful. I agree, black grout. :)

Black grout! I love the cheerful colors..........a fun, whimsical mirror that would never get boring.......! Beautiful!!!

FLAG! I Totally agree with your grout choice!!! I think it will make it look soooo classic! And I too, am blown away by this, I just LOVE that little shelf with the elephant on it!!! WOW! Oh I wish you were coming to Mexico...which is only a month away!
