Yesterday I was able to squeeze in about an hour working on this Table (before I was called in to substitute hours earlier than expected. What can I say? Goof -ups just plain happen!). It is difficult to see as I was placing black oblong tiles on top of a black table, but if you look closely at the table top's perimeter, you'll be able to see a line of oblong black tile. I have optimistically placed jars of tiles on top of the table for attaching in a spiral to the top. (Optimistically or prematurely...) Also, I was a bit of a pest and contacted witsendmosaic.com about my order. I felt a bit impatient as I am aware of my one month obligation to complete this project.
