Another couple of stone jobs..

Chinese M/coloured slate and some wooden travertine in a kitchen strummer fitted.

Slate was sealed with Mattstone .. quite a nice selection of colours in it from PHG stone.

I agree Dave, brick bond can be a bit boring, I like third bond, or quarter bond.:thumbsup:

Phew,.. if anyone is wondering.. this is the mosaic I'm working on at the moment, just finished another little section, each one different from the other, it will be 900x1125mm, the little mountain bit ( on original middle left) is just around a 30th of the whole thing. The large fuchsia flowers and leaves will be cut almost whole from stained glass sheets, have done most of that, as well as all the water and the hills in the lower half of the picture. Keeping the peices in place during transfer with a layer of sticky film, but it is one of the trickiest pieces I have ever done, not least because it will live outside, and the bracket screws coming through from the other side must not show either at the end. For this one cement adhesive and epoxy grout will be the answer, I think so far anyhow. A fiddly job this one, and commissioned by the artist of the original picture, this is not my design, so can't change it, but instead 'interpret' what her style is in general into mosaics. Anyhow here is just a tiny section, more pics will follow at a later stage... the view is from my little 8'x8' garden studio, as I finish each section it gets transferred into the larger workshop.
