Thanks Bill. The tiled part is raised up. I glued the tiles onto mesh first and then to the wood.

Carol thanks!. I would do that, but the only thing that will change is it will look cleaner, lol.

Reply #6 - Feb 19^th, 2010 at 2:00pm Thank you so much Charlie & Beth. I wasn't sure if it would turn out right as making something like an eagle is intimidating to me. Anyway, you all are family so I figured you'd put up with me.

I am the same way and to be honest the pictures of Mel's work don't do it justice. I bought 2 pieces for family at Christmas and they were better than the pictures!

You've overstayed your welcome since the day we met but it doesn't seem to matter to you. No medications are your master, nothing makes you fret, it's a helpless feeling having nothing I can do
