I used 3/4-inch vitreous glass tiles for the outer edge (please see the free sample Chapter 7 from my eBook about backgrounds and
borders for why I chose these tiles for the border instead of using stained glass). I used a slightly darker color for every third tile. All
other tessera pieces are made from stained glass. The gray pieces are about 1/8-inch wide and are used simply as a border to separate
the different areas of the design. The center circle comprises small squares hand-cut from dark-green stained glass.

The outer circle is made with dark-brown stained glass and the pieces represent branches for the leaves. Once I finished the outer
brown circle, I decided to work from the center outward. I had no particular reason for starting in the center except that I couldn't wait
to work with the iridescent white glass for the background around the flowers. I love the way the iridescence gives that red and green
shimmer. Can you see it in the picture below? The picture doesn't show the true colors--it's so beautiful.

The next section is complete (see the picture below). For the remaining background, I used plain white stained glass because I didn't
want to overuse the iridescent white. It's starting to look good, don't you think? The pattern is very simple, but I know it's going to look
wonderful as a tabletop.
