    hello. last night i finished it.
    again... what grout? black? how will the black eyebrows and the white/pink part of the eye come out?

    and... how can i protect the tiles from the grout? the surface is not perfectly smooth...
    someone suggested candle wax, or furniture polish... but HOW? i guess wax covers the holes and cracks and later on can be removed. same for the polish?
    but again... HOW?

    :):):)

    Your eye is stunning! Well done to you. :D I know several Stewbies do mosaic so I hope you'll get an answer to your question soon.

    My goodness, Cal, that eye is gorgeous.
    Hopefully Bethie will visit GS soon and give you advice on the grout.
    I would go with black but I know nothing about doing it, just that black will make all those colors really pop out.
