Some Experimenting

I had a pattern in mind and laid out the tentative locations of key bling.

I then marked where the chains and other boundaries were going to be placed.

I used a cake decorating icing bag - it takes a lot of oomph but I like the lines it made.

Here's a close-up of the 'iced' lines.

I iced all lines then filled in the boxes one by one.

This was the second-to-last box and I liked the gray color of Wedi board for background so I decided to use light gray thin set.

In my very last box, I made thin-set flowers with the icing bag. I see more experimentation in my future!

The 'almost' final product. I built this in the frame so I have some touch-ups and cleaning to do, but the hard stuff is done.
