Gorgeous day for tiling.


Today was beautiful! I got the corner of the wall I've been working on completed, and I got a small start on one of the new walls. Before I can continue, I'll have to cut more mirror glass. Here's a picture of the progress. I'm hoping to get the grout on this wall done tomorrow. If I'm not too tired after that, I will cut mirror - provided I can find my glass cutter, which is currently MIA.

Have you been wondering what I will do with that ugly rusty metal panel on the wall? I've been wondering as well, and I'm open to suggestions. I can't tile over metal, but I was thinking I could paint it with oil based Rustoleum, and then maybe a poem? It is in the back of the yard, so it doesn't get seen much unless you're laying on the hammock. I figured I'd start with the wall that gets seen the least while I improve my mosaic technique. Anyway, I'm open to ideas - the rusty panel must go!

Giant outdoor art?? Like, a huge photo mounted on wood and layered over with marine grade epoxy? :-) You help me make it and it's yours, baby.

you should start soliciting suggestions for which poem should on El Rust Spot. you could have a contest. I would personally vote for 'I Lik Maconi'--it really speaks to the environment, you know?--but that is just me. "i lik maconi, it si good..."
