My wife is making a tile mosiac table for one of her friends for Christmas and she wanted a western motif, so she asked me to cut out some boots and a cowboy hat. They turned out better than I expected, so I thought I would post pics so I can kinda brag on them!! Made these boots out of Jasper we collected down in Delta, Utah. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/Boots003Medium.jpg) A little cowboy hat, it came out kind of plain, and you couldn't tell it was a hat by the shape so I had to take a dremel and cut in the lines to make it look like a hat. When she grouts the table, the groove should be filled in with grout also. Made this out of some Agate we collected from Burro Creek, Arizona. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/Boots004Medium.jpg) Thanks for lookin...................Tony

Very creative! The lines on the hat really help. I saw the lines before I read the description and wondered "how'd he do that? is it part of the stone?"
I'm sure the friends are going to love that table.

those boots are very cool. for months i've wanted to try making a mosaic of some sort out of some of the slabs i have but i don't know where to begin. Do you polish the slabs first?
