I know I need to "upgrade" the code on the site. Lots of minor adjustments to be made. As this is a labor of love, I have little time of it (I'd rather write than code), but will make the zero margins issue a priority. Best, Sarah. Thanks for the note.

He describes a wonderful technique and I suspect it is behind some zillij tables I saw at a restaurant a few years back: they looked as good as traditional tables, but were much smoother and lighter.

We have discovered the new technique in making zillij mosaics. You can use any tiles. We prefer floor tile/non glazed/monochromatic color or rustic tiles. I used to teach my craftman to make "furmah" in less than 30 minutes. For geometric patterns you only need 1 (one) book ("Arabesques" by Jean-Mark Castera ;isbn 2-86770-124-4 ). For the table base use fiber cement (all weather) or medium density fiber (indoor). No iron bar or concrete needed. See my workshop: http://www.liputan6.com/news/?c_id=4&id=112427 Enjoy.
