Table on the make

Somehow Saturday seemed to slip by without an entry. Sunday downunder brings humid, hot weather, Alison's coconut cake and my determination to finish a mosaic cement table base for a customer. Thank goodness I did not put the umbrella hole in the middle as now it is not to be!

I have my favourite mosaic duds on, 3/4 denim shorts covered in grout, mastic and one leg has directions to the Freeway...I keep a felt pen in my pocket and the other day drew directions for student on my jeans! Now I am getting them to sign my jeans. When classes start again in March I think the uniform will be white t-shirts (to write on and get grotty) and old jeans to sign and wipe hands, saves using aprons.

I am torn between projects but have to finish the table. It's quite exciting, it's large and light...my new ozboard product is working! Can't wait to see what mosaic design ends up on my table. It's hard to part with the table....so much love and prepartation goes into these tabletop bases. As I create them for the customer, I put my mosaic energy in the passing swipes of thinset, layer by layer...willing a beautiful work of art to take it's home on the surface...

I had better get out there and start mixing....gulping down vegemite sandwiches and iced vo-vovs as I go..Visit my website soon for pictures of this tabletop...
Cheers
