To make myself work steadily and faster, I'm posting pics in progress of this mural I'm doing on the porch. If you're watching the progress, I may be more committed to it. We'll see.
The first pic is the before shot - with all the plants and decor removed - looks very sterile. The second one is the lame-ass drawing of what I have in mind. I can't draw, so next time, pencil... The third and 4th ones are the first tiles.
The white tile is travertine marble donated by a neighborhood tile guy, a practicing member of Neighborpalooza. The leaves are from artist Jenny Ressler from Texas (here's her ebay shop). The black is Home Depot special black (sarcasm). I'm using a lavabo that I got over 10 years ago as a fake birdbath, which will act as the mailbox. Hope that's legal.
At the rate I'm going, I should be finished by Thanksgiving.
