I worked in vertical rows, five 18 gauge tiles, at a time, and lined them up with the next row to make sure that the design was in register all the way along.

All the colours are transparent except for the area on the left where I used a stencil with an opaque off-white with transparent brown over to create the effect of rocks. Also the mountains in the background with transparent blue over. less

What do you use as a chemical bond on the back to keep the tiles attached?
How many tiles did you work on at once to keep track of your design?
did you use copper tiles - what gauge?
Do you lay down flux first before applying the trnasparents?
Are the yellows opaque?

Thanks for your comments. It took five and a half months to create and assemble minus 2 weeks that I attended the enamel conference in Cincinnati.
