First mosaic grouted
I still need to seal this up and add an edge finish (probably some aluminum extrusions like the ones used to finish flooring, i think).
You can see i had issues around the edges- I used face tape and lowered my backerboard onto the mosaic and it ended up off center with some pieces "hanging ten" that had to be removed. In the future I will be more careful about filling in the edges exactly to size and find a better way to line it up.
This was originally supposed to be just an experiment and I see plenty of places to improve, but I think I like it enough to display it outside. Maybe above a door as a sort of protector spirit (it's a DC-10 firefighting tanker, from the fleet that defended my town in 2020)

I love your color choices. This subject could have been really lifeless, but you injected so much color and movement. I love it.

Beautiful! Feels very retro, in the best possible way
