pictures of first attempt at mosaics

[ryanbrown]

Hiya
Here are some pics at my first attempt at mosaics (here and in my profile and on website accenttiling.co.uk).
Very involved work, cuts all around sink, trap door, curving around bath (vertical and horizontal) cutting holes (3) and cuting thin strips to go around a wooden platform for a toilet, and a small platform next to the toilet.
See if you think this looks any good..

Nice work. Looks very tricky. How long did the mosaics take in the bathroom to tile?

 

[ryanbrown]

Thanks again, took a long time - took about week just to tile - and I only charged about a day and a half rate (thats how long I thought it might take) so didn't make very much out of it. He spent over £1000 on tiles.
Just lots of obstacles including really wavy plastering under the sink and was mixing adhesive by hand to begin with.
And it has to mixed about as thick as humanly possible to stop it sliding.

Perhaps I could have saved time by tiling with whole strips straight up from the bath (rather than having al these cut tiles) - could have saved some time. Literally hundreds of small tiles to feed throught the wet saw. Hard work, I can see why people turn this stuff down.
