Tiled table top almost done.

Marysville, WA(Zone 7a)

Years in the making due to complacency, raging senility, feebleheadedness and an occasional bout of indigestion, the tiles are finally finding a place to dwell. The product of a pottery class some years ago, they sat, then were mortared onto a piece of cement board and sat, then this weekend the table base came into being and now after securing it to the table base and tiling the border, adding some grout and an edge piece it will be finished. The tile colors were a great disappointment but perhaps not unexpected. The tiles were made during classes one night a week and glazed at intervals using glazes kept in five gallon pails. The glazes are used by the day students five days a week and are "topped up" from time to time thus changing the composition, and the final color was a 'double dip' of celedon and something else, the change greater . All in all it was a great experience and something I'd like to do more of, if there was more time. lol
