hello everyone. been a long time from my last one.
i just finished one last night and i am now thinking whether to use grey or black grout.
i am thinking the black will divide the sky into squares... maybe grey ???

hope you like it!

Absolutely gorgeous, you have found your talent!!!

Gray grout is the way to go, with the design being 'outlined' in black the grout needs to fade into the background and not stand out like black would.
