No Progress is Not Good Progress

One of the people who saw my last post was confused by it all. I guess that's because I forgot to say that the overall mosaic will be a flower. The fossil at the end of the tiles is the center of the flower. I'll be building the petals around that. And eventually it will all look like it's suspended in a landscape.

Now that I look at the task in front of me, I realize people would have seen the flower image better if I turned the big fossil around. That's going to be the center and as such would work better if it's rotated.

The more I think about it and look at it, the more I realize I will have to put the fossils in place first then build up the background as I put in the little stones then build it up with additional backing (I'll probably have to use thin set ... I'll know more when I research it on the web.) for the tiles because they are the thinnest of all the material here.

I'm going to do a rough layout sometime in the next few days and I'll post a photo of that.
