3/22/04: This commission
consists of a stepping stone that will have the company logo of
Hortus Oasis. The logo is to the left. A beautiful magnolia
flower. |

3/24/03 - Flower drawn on stepping
stone. 80% of the tile on this project will be hand nipped, and
in some cases, the edges beveled. |

4/3/04 - Outlining of petals
is completed. Decided to add a touch of coral to the center of the
flower. Adds a bit of punch and will compliment the petal
colors, as well as pick up the green leaves. |
|
|
4/12/04 - Petals are
completed. I'm working on the leaves which have turned out to be more
difficult than I anticipated. After much deliberation,
the leaves will not be outlined, but I will show the inner veins.
This will give the illusion of a larger leaf. |

4/25/04 - Here we are.
Tiling completed at last. Grouting should begin in about a day or
two. We've decided on a non sanded bone grout color as the joints are really
tiny. |

5/3/04 - Completed work.
