Final Tile Floor DONE!
#1
ADD: After 7yrs, I have finally finished the tile floors!
Porcelain cut tile (opus sectile) critter tally:
2 Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks in the guest/den,
2 Manta Rays in the great-room,
4 Spinner Dolphins in the studio bedroom,
2 Humpback Whales in 0-barrier studio shower,
3 baby Sea Turtles across studio front room,
2 Humpback Whales in cat/office,
and the start of it all, one Green Sea Turtle in our bedroom!

Have completed the 4th mosaic floor! (boy this remodel is taking FOREVER!)
I just thought I would show it off! (sorry for those that don't do yahoo, but until I learn more, this is what I know!)

Oh my heavens that's gorgeous, Carey. What a great design. Wanna do one for me?

Sure! - the design is not real hard. The wet saw only cuts straight lines, so the fun is working the idea on a grid & then determining how to cut to approximate curves (first time this ol' engineering tech has even thought about Calculus in over 3 decades- area under the curve!)
It's not art, it's Engineering!

ETA: total derail, but Glen, aren't you supposed to be here (next friday is the anniversary of the nene fly over) still gives chicken skin to remember it!

Oh so lovely, such talented devotion to your art, please sign me up for the cuddle fishies, I'll bring the tiles!

What gorgeous work Carey, I love them all but especially the spinners and the bubbles in the tiles are cool. Oh yes and the LRanch seas horses, somehow I missed seeing them.

Thank you for sharing them with us!

Oh my, so nice. I too think the turtles were special. Your talent is actually the special part. Nice cat, too.

Life goes on, with you or without you.

Edited for another stupid typo
Peace and long life
