Hi the Bird, cute little critters. He might need a mate though......
They have such thin legs, too. Tricky.
Pics later!!

Oh boy! I used old glue stuff and it didn't set....now I'm painstakingly taking off the pieces that didn't set and cleaning them off to redo....

These are wonderful! I love the tables, especially the lotus. The dragonflies, oh my! I bet the shipping to Seattle would kill me. . . . but I would love to see one of these up close, if you know what I mean!

I paint and draw, but mosaics I have never tried. Maybe I will have to give them the ol' college try one of these days. . . .

Hi lefthanded, the dragonflies are very popular-have sold lots. The mirror wings are a bit tricky as mirror doesn't cut neatly.
Postage to US from Australia is $13.90 by sea. Mosaic costs $30.00.
Let me know if you are interested. Have a few left, but could make one for you if you would like a particular one.
They take me about 4 hours, all up.

What is the diameter of the round tabletop? Are they sealed and weatherproof, or would I need to do that?

Hi lefthanded. The tables are about 30" diameter. They are a resin type.
Sealing the grout helps to avoid staining and perhaps a little weather proofing, but not much. There may be heavier duty sealers available though.
These tables have been outside in the weather and have suffered. Grout has cracked and bits broken off.
This may be because the table top expands and contracts at a different rate to the tiles and grout.
So they are not weatherproof.

Peter B, Your lovely mosaics inspired me to start mosaics. I bought a kit to get an idea of how to do things. Then I hope to do more.
