I have wanted to do some mosaics for a long time. I thought and still think they are a very very cool. I also wondered why more people have not done them. Now I know why. I started with about the most basic tiki face possible last night at 8:00pm I stayed up until 4:00am because I had set a goal to at least get all the little tiles glued to the paper I had to fulfill my goal. Not knowing this would take 8 hours of backbreaking work from bending over the table all night. I inlaid it cedar today with the help of a router. I still have some brushing and a little more grouting to do but here is what I got so far. Again this is my first one so dont laugh. My wife says it looks like a serving tray which is not really the look I was going for. Oh well here it is
