Grouting the Mosaic

After an epic cookout* at my friend Natasha's house, I awoke to another heat advisory here. And Thursday is also when the lawn care company comes to take care of the complex. (I wonder, do they get any hazard pay for working on code orange days?). Faced with this double-whammy, I decided it was time to grout the mosaic!

Here are my supplies. Teacher Marilyn's instructions are there in the corner, and look, a use for those weekly junk mail inserts!

After grouting and scraping and looking for little holes:

It's rested and I've buffed once now. I'm using a timer, and I can't say enough about having the spray bottle on hand. (Doubles as a cat deter-er, too!) Super fun & easy!

Who knew mosaics took so much time?!

So, I went away for a week to folks hook.org, and below is what I accomplished. Our class was taught by Marilyn George and she really could not have been more lovely!

I drew a sketch of a view from the window of our lodgings (the school owns several houses that they have converted to individual accommodations). Then I added some flowers in the foreground, which honestly had not initially occurred to me. I can only blame sleep deprivation (which went away as soon as we got some sleep)!
