I finally completed the clay tile mural today. Attaching these tiles was extremely time consuming. First I had the custodian screw a large piece of plywood into the wall. Then, I used tile adhesive to attach each tile. Lastly, I used grout to fill in the spaces. This was my first time tiling a wall, so it was definitely a learning experience.
I need give a huge shout out to
Deep Space Sparkle. With out the help of her blog, and detailed Ceramic Tile Booklet, I would never have been able to finish this project. If you are planning a project like this, you should definitely check out her site.
I think this mural turned out very well. It was a ton of work, but I think it was worth it.
It looks beautiful!!

I remember seeing your mural in the spring, but I didn't see that you did the tiling yourself. Nice. I wrote a grant to do a tile mural, so good to hear that I might be able to save a bit of that money to do the tiling myself.
