Finally consulted w/my friend to get approximate size for his dog's marker. Here's what I accomplished today, after finishing the frame. I had planned to start mosaicing the "fence", but don't trust the weather staying nice enough to finish, so w/wait 'till spring. Fashioned the cross from the diamond mesh - one layer, and mixed a very thick mortar and covered the mesh to shape. The cross pieces I notice are too high, but they aren't attached to the center. Don't have a clue how I'll mosaic it, but he has given me license to do whatever I want on the whole design and mosaic. Her name/dates w/be under a light-colored transparent glass.

Two layers of mesh and ready to mortar tomorrow. The flaps on the bottom plus about two more inches w/be buried and in concrete for the footing. I might add a 3-D mesh vine/leaf thingy. Still no ideas on mosaic designs.
