Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love it! What about a light charcoal grout? What did you glue this on? Really nice!!! Are you going going to open up a mosaic shop!!!!!

wow astara, that fairy is AWESOME! I'd try not to compete at all, with a soft grey maybe

I did something similar with a purple fill/black grout. Black is too dark. I would go with grey overall and paint the grout of the designs charcoal to make them pop!

Thank You! I started this a long time ago when I was just learning, then picked it back up a few weeks ago. I used an old broken 2x4 I found in the basement! I am actually trying to buy a coffee shop in my neighborhood. Its the one I talked about that wanted to show my art! Funny - if I buy it I can show for a month and wont need to pay a commission!

I think if you go with a medium gray grout you are going to lose any contrast between the green and the purple and it will meld together. I would go black for the background and something lighter for the fairy.

Does the green spell something? I swear it says SEX. . . . or am I misreading?

It is supposed to spell Lexi with the I being the flower. The L is a little to swoopee and I hope I can fix it somehow. I cant get a good picture of the whole thing because it is so long. Its about 2and a half feet.

Oooo, this is sooo pretty! The fairy is so graceful and I LOVE the green and purple combo! I'm horrible at grout color decisions, but the gray advice sounds good.
Glad you told us what it said, it's been driving me crazy trying to figure it out, now it's plain as the nose on my face!

Love the fairy,your cuts and placement are perfect..really like the way the looks.

That is just wonderful, ASTARA. Think I'd go a Pearl Grey on this one.

Oh that is so neat and those colors are cool.

WOW!! Beautiful already!! And thinking of buying that place...will you feature other sorta local artists??? Like from outta town?heh heh!

the place I am trying to buy has featured artists every month for 9yrs. now. The next year is already booked and I told the owner I would keep to his commitments, but after that I am open to anything! It would be really cool to get a bit of everyones work and do a Mosaic Gallery!!! Something to keep in mind.

Follow your "art", and keep that dream. I DO hope your buying plans are successful. What a delightful place it would be in which to work and play.

Do keep us informed and Klinger and I will come down for the your "Show"!!! Road trip Ya!!! Do you know how many Thrift stores there are between here and there??? Oh Ya!!!

What a beautiful, lithesome fairy . I love the whole design !
Your daughter is very lucky.
Good luck on your new venture too!
