Process & Production

First, I got grey, pink, black and white mosaic stones.
Then I cut the mosaic stones and worked on them with pliers and placed them on the template. Then mixed some putty and applied the putty to the support plate with a spatula, so that the grooves were approx 1cm deep at the end. After this I placed the cutted mosaic stones in the putty in the shape of a fish.
Then I smoothed the putty between the stones with a wet sponge and let it dry overnight. The next day I filled the grooves between the stones with diluted putty by spreading it with a wet sponge. Finally let it dry and cleaned it with a dry sponge.
