Survival of Latex and Grout

I survived my mosaic flashback, although the grouting process nearly killed me.  I actually had to pause and worship the porcelin god while holding up my latex-gloved, grout-covered hands.  It didn't feel like a very spiritual experience--although nothing about being 7 1/2 months pregnant does.







These frames are made specifically to match the bride's wedding colors, and she chose the ivory grout for more contrast and a slightly "beachy" feel.  Finally closing in on the finished product . . .




I'm hoping to avoid repeating this process for another 2-3 years.  Or at least until I can bend at the waist/see my toes, get back up off the floor without excessive effort, and own a robot maid that will take care of the aftermath.

  2. The bending at the waist and getting stuck on the floor should take care of itself in about 2 months . . . the robot maid is the problem.

  3. They look fantastic! Too bad it's so much dang work and frustration.
