Turtle, originally uploaded by GeoWombats.

The turtle is all stuck down! Yay!
But I am never going to use pool tile for anything small again. That stuff is jolly difficult to cut into shape.
The mirror will be going into the space on the left but I need to take about a centimetre off the top so that it fits. Ignore the pencil markings. They are the remnant of an early design that I ended up scrubbing.
I’ve laid out the border just to make sure it fits. I had gone too close to the right but I think I’ve managed to get around it quite nicely.

Tile adhesive is Multistix.
