Almost Done with the lava spill!


I was going to title this entry "Eat your heart out Pele!" but as a lava goddess, Pele seems to have a lot of anger, and I really don't wanna be messing with any angry volcano gods right now.  Here is  the lava flow mosaic I've been working on for a couple of weeks now.  The edges are lined with glow-in-the-dark glass with little chips throughout the lava to glow like hot embers (although electric blue).  I'll be grouting tommorow.  I'm happy to showcase my Rebel Tiles custom circles in this piece. Yay!

Gibby lends me a hand on the jobsite


Anyone who knows the Gibs knows that he is one messy character.  He conned me into taking him to work with me one day, and was actually quite a good little helper for the first half hour or so.   But the usual Gibs persona kicked in at that point and he became sure that he could do a better job without tools and by just smearing his fingers in the thinset.  I won't be bringing him to work tomorrow..
