Making a splash

We figured solid slabs of granite would be too massive for the kitchen backsplash -- too much of a good thing -- so we're mixing things up with the same slate mosaic from the master bath floor.

Hank and Ray just started on it. Hank wasn't exactly delighted about the cuts required for the diamond set, but he sure understood why I wanted to do it that way: to offset the strict verticals and horizontals of the kitchen cabinets and pulls.
