Great Start, I like it already!!! Glad you came out of lurkdom!! Welcome!!! Jane

Welcome! I think your table looks fabulous! Love your sense of color and design and your circles are perfect. Kind of pop art look. Are you sure you haven't done this for years? I'm no expert but I would make sure to read the advice here (if you already haven't) about prepping wood surfaces. Inside should be ok, found out the hard way about mosaiced wood outside. Keep those WIP pics coming!

I'm liking the design, and the colors too. Can't wait to see more WIP shots of it as you go.

excellent start! Welcome to the addiction Senga. Your design looks wonderful to me

Hi Fellow Lurker! I also started out lurking around in this forum before getting brave enough to ask for help. What a great bunch of people here hey? I have learned sooooo much from these guys and am always in awe of their work. I can't stop reading and looking long enough to say anything. Your table is looking very interesting-keep sending progress reports! And if you're ever in a bind, just come here and do a search! You'll find the answers!

Senga, I really like your table design and colors!!! WELCOME! Looks like you have a good sense of design and color and don't need much help but encouragement to keep it up so here it is, "Great start and Let your ideas flow!"

Wow Senga... I really like that table. It looks good. I like the style your using, with those circles and the border...looks great so far.

Welcome to the best danged site ever!!!!

So that was YOU lurking around?!? Glad you finally spoke up!LOL!!

You're doing a tremendous job on your table! Looks like you don't need a pattern. Keep us posted on your progress.

I felt her too. I'm interested in seeing what's next! ;o)

Is that dirty socks in pix 3?

thanks for the warm welcome and kind words. I promise to post pics as they come. I've lurked here long enough to know that's the way to make friends here!

diy: I'm glad you saw the "pop art" aspect - - I was hoping for something along those lines . . .

linlee: sharp eyes you got there. upon further inspection I see that they are not dirty socks (although that would be very likely here) but instead they are my teen daughter's discarded "attempt" at leg warmers! Please tell me those are NOT coming back. Living through the 80's styles once is more than enough!

ahhh...leg warmers huh? :o)
I apologize.

Welcome, and what a great looking start to the table. Keep us updated with pictures.

Great start on the table. Glad you joined us!!

No critique from me - I think it looks just great! It has a retro feel with the colors and patterns. You've done a good job mixing everything so far, and I'll be looking forward to the next photo installment.

I didn't notice the leg warmers either, but I had to go back and find them once they were brought up. LOL I had a wine colored set back in the day. Hello, my name is Andrea and I'm a child of the 80's.

WELCOME Senga... Wow I really like design and color of your table.

Hi Andrea - My name is Crystal and I'm a child of the 80s. LOL!

Hi Senga - thanks for coming out of lurkdom.

I gotta ask about your username. It's so close to my maiden name that I have to ask where it comes from??

Senga- That's an EXCELLENT start! You've inspired me to at least TRY to stick to a pattern. I think I'm still in backsplash mode, which isn't to say it isn't WORKING for me, but I gotta branch out.
I love circles! It's very nice!

thanks again to everyone for your nice comments. I certainly can see how the comments can keep you motivated and inspired.

mosaicwench: the name senga was an inside joke with my dad when I was 12 or 13. It's actually my name, Agnes, spelled backwards.

back to cutting tiles and gluing so I can post more pictures soon!

LOL Senga! My maiden name was OSENGA. I'm glad they didn't name me agnes or I would have been a palindrome.

My goodness - doesn't appear you need ANY advice. That is just gorgeous, and I Luv, luv luuuuuuv your border.

mwench: too funny. now THAT would be a tough name to deal with!
