Monica Zinda of Moonshine Mosaics
came back to do my hearth. So far she has has done all my glass block and
tile work and I've gotten no better at all! I am a qualified sponge boy
now, but that's all.
Hearth is classic slate-gray slate, which was surprisingly hard to find.
Slate comes in many colors, most of which I thought were hideous. The fancy
tile/stone stores did not carry "slate gray" slate, I had to get it at a
big-box store (Lowes). I bought quite a few extras since there is a lot
of variation, and you will cull. Dimensions varied by about 3/16" so
we had to use about 1/4" grout lines to give room to adjust, without the
variation being too noticable.
