hello. last night i finished it.
again... what grout? black? how will the black eyebrows and the white/pink part of the eye come out?

and... how can i protect the tiles from the grout? the surface is not perfectly smooth...
someone suggested candle wax, or furniture polish... but HOW? i guess wax covers the holes and cracks and later on can be removed. same for the polish?
but again... HOW?

Your eye is stunning! Well done to you. Very Happy I know several Stewbies do mosaic so I hope you'll get an answer to your question soon.

My goodness, Cal, that eye is gorgeous.
Hopefully Bethie will visit GS soon and give you advice on the grout.
I would go with black but I know nothing about doing it, just that black will make all those colors really pop out.
