Day Thirty

It's been a month on the mosaic. I can see the end in sight. Today I attacked the whites, the tiles of which I had the largest supply. What a shock to realize as I was about halfway through that I had used up more than half of the supply! It hit me that I need to replenish the whites, too. I gritted my teeth and attempted to at least complete the arch, which I did though I had to rummage for bits and pieces for the last spots. I had experience in this with the "adobe" color yesterday. I ordered eight more "white spectrum stained glass" from KP Tiles for $27.30 including shipping. It is amazing to me how the design swallows up the background colors. I have lots of reds, yellows, orange and the very bright pale mint green, but everything else is down to the dregs. If there ever is a next time, I will be wiser.
I completed the meandering stem. This view shows an area where ALL TILES are in!
