My finest craft moment. At least for this week.
one seat
two seat
grape soda, dill pickle, marshmallow, pacific blue seat.
and table.
In case you're concerned about the comfort factor for the chairs (after exploring the uneven, perhaps even risky, texture of the tabletop--described by the artist as "bits of clearly intended character")--the tiles in the seat mosaics were laid somewhat more smoothly, and only edge pieces of the broken tiles were used on the edges of the seats, so while not smooth as a baby's bottom, they are nonetheless smooth and comfy to sit on, even if you personally have a sensitive baby's bottom.
Finally, the artist intentionally created one chair with somewhat larger pieces of tile and created the other chair with somewhat smaller pieces of tile because she respects that some people like chairs with large tiles and some people like chairs with small tiles. You may refer to these tile size differences as additional character. Which is a descriptive word often used when referring to the artist herself--as in, "she's such a character"

WOW. Gorgeous. What a lovely set of items to have on one's patio or deck. You know, for summer living.
Ooh, they turned out beautifully. I love the border look--good call. I'm a little afraid to sit on them. Not for fear of tile, but rather of destroying art.
