Hey yes, good idea Dusty! We're doing that again in 2009 then? Cool!!!

You know the more I look at your oven the more I really love all the tile work....I would love to do more to mine, when I get the chance. I just have to come up with a design that works, and try not to copy yours

[Frances]

Cool, I look forward to seeing what you come up with! In my opinion, the world cannot have too many mosaics.

You know, I think even if you wanted to duplicate it, the finished oven would look completely different. Just look at how different our ovens all turn out while following the same design plans.

Just spent an hour reading the saga and thoroughly enjoying -- and envying -- the pictures of your wonderful, wonderful oven. The question now is, how did the mosaic survive the winter? To borrow a former radio commentator's phrase, what's "the rest of the story"?

[Frances]

Wow thanks, glad you enjoyed it... I didn't think anyone would dig up this old thread again.

The oven survived the Winter really well, and it was a really COLD on this year and all! Having said that, three of the marbles did come loose and are currently sitting in the kitchen wating to be stuck back on again.

I think I'll have to do minor renovations about once a year to keep it all in good condition... but the cool thing about it is, theres so much clour and swirls, that you really can't tell if anything's missing or not!

[Frances]

Hey guys, waddaya know.... I just discovered that if you google "mosaic oven", mine comes in second place. Wow, that's kind of cool - fame at last!!

Well there is definitely something wrong with google. I am sure if you googled "cool mosaic oven" you would be #1. I guess everyone will have to click on your site 10 times per day so that you are in your appropriate order.
