Table Top Progress

Had to break down and buy some glass tiles. I couldn't find enough blue stuff to make a "sky" so I went to Michaels and bought a package of tiles. Grrrr. Hate to buy new ... prefer pre-owned and/or toss off and/or leftovers. But, good news. The blue tiles helped me finish! Well, not completed. I haven't grouted or framed but just getting the pieces of tesserae down is a big task.

I was planning to use this as a table top but my neighbor saw it and she wants me to sell it to her for her daughter's new house. I don't have the heart to sell it, though because it's mostly cast-off stuff. Maybe I'll just give it to her for the cost of the blue glass ($6.00) and grout (don't know that price), the table (I'll have to go back and check on the cost of that; I think I blogged it, and the framing. I will get the latter at Restore: the resale arm of Habitat for Humanity. Maybe $25? What do you guys think?

Pictures coming ... as soon as I find my camera ...
