Now I'm going to show you how to design your mosaic bookend. I've made a little pattern
of the space that we'll be covering here so that we can work flat on the table. So this
is the same space and we'll just sort of do our design here and later we'll transfer it
to the bookend. You want to start your designing, we're doing a random design here. Lots of
bits and pieces. But you may have some larger design elements. So you want to place those
first where you think you want them to be. And also, anything with strong color that
you want to also place. And then we'll fill in all around it with our different colors
and pieces. And it's really a matter of preference what you like the, how it looks, and when
you see it, how it feels. You can move the pieces around. You'll put a piece here and
say "I don't like that" and you'll put a new piece in and just fill it in this close. Now
you want to keep in mind how big the spaces are between the pieces because that will affect
the design and think about what color grout you'll be using because that will also change
the color of the whole piece and the design of the whole piece. So, we're just going to
continue to fill in here. And then we'll be transferring this onto our bookend.
