This is my first mosaic tile project.

Being influenced and inspired by my Mexican heritage, I put together this design. I used one of those inexpensive round 3 leg side tables that you would normally use in a bedroom, cover with table cloth and a round glass top. I always hated that look but any way, this is more of a modern take to update a simple design. I also painted the legs using red and black. I first painted them red and used a candle to apply wax in a various pattern, then painted black over them. After it dried, I took steel wool and rubbed it over the paint and wherever the wax was, the paint came off showing the red paint underneath. I think it's a great affect. Hope you enjoy!
