Well the client was not pleased with the prototype. I am okay with that, because I was not thrilled about it once it was finished either. The grout messed it up, and the stucco was too flakey. I guess it took doing it to know though.
SO, the new and improved prototype is on it's way. The new plan is to make the wall out of sheet metal, with cut out shapes for the glass windows and cut out lines between the mosaic patterns. The mosaic will now be glued on with no grout.
This is way better because no cement is involved, and breathing cement is a bummer. So I'm happy! The new materials I am using are way prettier too. I spent a few hours picking out various glass and tiles around town and then a few hours breaking them up with a tile nipper.
Overall, although it was a some what uncomfortable situation, I am relieved that the first prototype was rejected, and I'm excited to be moving in a new direction.
