Thanks guys :D

Fired my tiles and glued them to the acrylic container. Next to work on making them look like they are lashed together. I think it will look really cool filled with a blue drink and a couple of blue LED ice cubes. Or maybe a tropical silk flower arrangement?

Like most of what I do, this was an experiment. Lessons learned;
5x5x5 is too big for a mug. Mathematically 5x5x5 holds 69 ounces (but actually closer to 45 oz drink volume). 4x4x4 would be a max capacity of 35 ounces which is better. 4 inch tiles would be harder to make, smaller is harder to detail. But I really do want to make a mold one of these days
Glass cubes would be better than acrylic. When I glued the tiles to the cube, I got some glue on the acrylic and I wasn't able to get it all off. With glass I could scrape it without scratching the glass.
