And yes the leaves are whole ( apart from those that required me to break them for the 'fallen leaf' effect). That K V quote is a daily reminder to 'just do'!:) Thankyou K.

Always great to get feedback from fellow artists. I checked out some of your mosaics and they're really lovely! herhimbryn, do we get to see a pic of your table?! Lorraine, Welcome :) It has been on my mind since you left your comment. Your name is so familiar yet I can't put my finger on where I "know" you from. One of the mosaic groups perhaps?... Hi Anita,

As far as sealer goes, do you mean sealer for the mosaic itself or the prepping? For the mosaic itself, I use a tile and grout sealer - no specific one as of yet, though I did use Sureseal (http://www.suresealusa.com/Australia%20Products.htm) on the large table I made recently and was very happy with it. It comes in an aerosol can and I have to say I reckon that's suicide ;) I just get the stuff you can paint on. Thanks Lorraine and herhimbryn…

I didn't seem that coming. :-) I saw your earlier post when it was a WIP. This is not at all how I envisioned it looking when completed. I think it's gorgeous, Kim. Your color selection is great. You really should be happy with it. Wow. I didn’t seem that coming. :-) I saw your earlier post when it was a WIP. This is not at all how I envisioned it looking when completed.
