The Reality of Physics

It was going too well. Everything looked great. I was putting mosaics together like a professional. And then Physics happened.

Damned stuff made the wood contract, warp, and then, POP!, tiles everywhere they weren't supposed to be. Beauty was fractured, ego's were deflated, and my stool looked like a true ancient piece of artwork. Half the tiles were missing and the other half were still on the stool top.

My analysis: Not enough cement adhesive, too much grout on the back of the tiles, and humidity fluctuations. They conspired against me and now I have to go back to the drawing board.
