Pseudo Roman (sort of) mosaic (not) tabletop (to be)

Previous attempt at actual mosaic table top for outdoor table went pear-shaped a while ago (learning points: glass gems do not stick to tile adhesive, peacock feathers turn brown under resin, resin is a hideous messy thing which you should not attempt in large quantities without at least three people to help, plus it turns yellow and cracks outdoors) SO trophy boyfriend recently cut me a brand new circle of marine ply to paint up with acrylic paint, which is (hooray) much cheaper than mosaic tessarae, and we went from this:  to  to to  to...

yay finished 4' diameter table top! 

I will post a picture of it when it is all dry and in situ on the stump outside - it has to cure for a couple of weeks inside, before it gets a couple of coats of varnish. Eventually it will have a piece of tempered glass to protect it (purchased this morning from nice dude off Craiglist), et voila! Now on to one of the million other unfinished art projects...
