DONE!!! I decided to not mosaic the pink body, and this Calamity is the result! I decided to just grout the body, but I wanted to try adding pink paint to the grout(grey), and in doing so, the grout became very soupy(I was trying to mix red and white paint). Then as I was wiping off the grout, it just came off the unmosaiced parts...sorta....so it is like a textured finish on the body and I kinda like it! It is sorta shabby chic! lol! Pink and grey undertones. Pics just don't do justice to how pretty this turned out...can't seem to get a good pic of the purple mirror and purple irridescent glass.
