Swizz - Those decals are pretty light, just paper. Maybe shipping from the US would not be too unreasonable? Let me know if you need some help shipping from this end.
TikiAno - Thanks. You can get a lot more fine detail with the decals than you can a carved in logo. But carving somehow seems more "artistic"
Wendy - See you soon! Started working on Dan's other mug :)
Hilda - Good to hear from you, love the way your hut is turning out!
Gene - Thank you. The table doesn't have a lip so resin wouldn't work as well. But grout will do fine. I live in the desert so cold isn't so much of a problem.
Tiger - I like your design idea of the frame. But the tabletop would be very uneven, guess I could glue all the tiles to the bottom of the glass? EDIT - probably no real shrunken heads on stakes. One, local law enforcement frowns on beheading the natives. And I bet they stink while curing :lol:
Dale - Thanks, I like those colors. I almost wish I had used something besides red for the hair tie, seems to me like it clashes a bit. A nice dark green or dark blue would have still provided contrast but fit in better.

Just about ready to grout it after the glue dries, maybe tomorrow.

These glass tiles were a bit of a pain in the butt ~ for some reason they didn't cut well. I would end up shattering 3 or 4 for every one I got cut. Fortunately they were reasonably priced and I got lots
