Clients approached me about making a glass-on-glass tabletop for their new exterior gas firepit so that when it was not lit, they could use it as a low table set amongst their garden furniture. They wanted a mosaic around the outer perimeter of the tabletop. The theme of the mosaic is loosely rendered native plants and birds. I used stained glass on a tempered glass base, with opaque stained glass over the rim and clear stained glass on the interior and exterior portions of the mosaics. The adhesive is UV-curing glue. I built the rim that sits underneath the mosaic and on top of the fireplace rim from stacked and thinsetted wedi board.
