Birdbath i am making. Top peice is done. Just have to choose the grout color now. I'm so use to using black. I need to change that. I'm thinking grey. What do you think i should use?

    I love the way you continued the plate pattern onto the surrounding pieces! I'm a grey grouter!

    Wow - that is really different!! I agree with Bama - I love the way you continued the colors from the plate pattern. I think grey would be good for grout too, or maybe light chocolate? I have "light chocolate" by TEC that I think would look fabulous on this piece.

    very interesting, I was just drawing a mayan celestial dragon tonight and thinking how beautiful it would be in mosaic... are Dragons the the new theme? LOL

    that is fabulous, I agree on the grey and that it is truly unique

    OH That is very pretty. Dragon is neat!! I suppose a navy blue grout would wipe out the blue tiles?

    Phew - Your last sentence sooooo relieved me. I was soooooooo worried about your adhesive - looked suspiciously like the ready mix stuff and I didn't know whether to comment or not. It's a BEAUTIFUL mosaic, and you've used that saw like a pro. Girlie, you are G.O.O.D. Mapei's Pearl Gray grout.

    OH! How I LOVE that, that plate is awesome!

  • 18 years ago

    WOW! LOVE that plate!!! I like the background color right now! Terra cotta? If you go to a tile shop, they have so many new colors out....

    Wow, that is really different......don't think you could go wrong with either grey, black or terra cotta.......your cuts are so perfect............I have got to get a tile saw..............I really like this a lot......great job!

    Wow that is really neat! I love the plate. You did a real good job cutting it. I like the idea of light blue grout or even the pearl grey. But of course I also vote for black and regular grey!!!! Cant wait to see it finished!

    Can't wait to see this grouted! I sure like the way you enlarged the picture with your outside colors. Very clever!

    Very creative on your extension of the plate. Can't wait to see it grouted.

    I love it !! Where did you get that plate?
    I agree with the grey grout. Maybe even sterling silver?
    Can't wait to see it finished!
