Progress and then... Pow!

The mosaic fossil flower table top is starting to take shape. In fact, it's almost designing itself. I found a bunch of extra green glass pieces that look so much like grass that it's scary.

All was going well and progress was, well, progressing ... that is until the tip of my glass cutter just disappeared. Poof. One minute it was gliding across a piece of glass and the next minute it wasn't. I didn't know these things broke. I guess this project is just meant to be, though because on my way to the grocery store I pulled over at a garage sale to look at some scrap material and guess what was there ... a glass cutter.

See what I mean?

Now that the project is taking shape,I'm rethinking some of the finishing. I'm leaving a border of about an inch and I intend to put a frame there but I'm not so sure I'll be pouring liquid acrylic to smooth it out. I was thinking about going to the home improvement store to get some thicker tile adhesive but I changed my mind. I have a half a container of Weldbond (boy does that stuff hold!) that seems to be doing the job. We'll see how it plays out.

Also, I was going to put a coat of white paint on the fiber board but I changed my mind on that as well. I like the tint the beige brings to some of the light weight glass.
