We recently redid our backyard landscape and put in a brick path meandering around the fountain which is the focus of the yard. I had Michael put in a mix of stepping stone pavers here and there throughout the brick path. These are my blank canvases to do some decorative tile mosaics. I had some extra boxes of colorful tiles stored in the laundry room for quite a few years, leftover from some other mosaic works. I was waiting for a new project to use them up and I knew they'd be perfect for this.
So, the other day, I donned my knee pads, goggles, etc., and began the daunting and back breaking task of the tile mosaics. First thing I did was come up with some designs for all the pavers, nine total, I think. Here's a few of the first ones completed but not grouted yet. I'm going to wait until all are completed before grouting them.
