I filled in the rest of the background on the right panel. When I snipped and glued in the last tiny triangular cut to enhance the curved line of the green leaf and stepped back, I felt like I had put in the last piece of a puzzle. Even though I still have more pieces to set in, the areas in the design still lacking tiles are all white areas. Ta da! SO far so good, if I do say so myself. Yet...
The surface looks broken and a bit too lively. The grouting, not yet begun, should solve that problem.
My son Tim came home from college and saw the wall for the first time. He loved running his hand over the surface. Doing so is a very satisfying tactile experience, much like the general feeling of pleasure derived from running the hand over a good piece of weaving on a loom or the surface of a bead-weaving piece. Organized bumps. Ah!
My two friends Bob and Sue stopped by and took a look too, from outside the greenhouse.
