Lin Thanks - I just searched hi/lo for the seller on Ebay where I purchased this nearly 4 yrs ago - Seller was - phoenicianarts - not to be found - I did a lot of email communication w/seller who was in Lebanon - I found what I liked & then he did a custom order. It was reasonably priced I think like $200 - and I had it w/in 10 days of payment I linked an ebay store below Here is a link that might be useful: Ebay medallions

kmeemsie, the difficulty in using the granite scraps as a pencil line or frame is that the granite will be thicker than the tile. Your granite is probably 2 cm or 3 cm thick. You might get your fabricator to cut or polish them to thinner, but the cost of that might be an issue. I think it could look really sharp. Our fabricator did make us some pieces 1/2" by 3/4" by 2 feet to trim the sides of our rangetop, but they did it free to cover a mistake they had made in the cutout. They did say that they can't make pieces that thin in all granites - some aren't strong enough. On the other hand, the company that made our stone wall plates says that they can make them in almost any stone and they are really thin. It may be a matter of the tools the fabricator has available.

How nice to find such compliments - I researched my Ebay acct & general Ebay search w/o any luck finding the seller - There are a few mosiac sellers from Lebanon Here are some additional pics that I just took. It is a challenge w/camera, flash, proper lighting shaugnn - the inspiration came from the sellers available works at the time probably early 2006. The sizing of what he had available did not work for our application so I wrote to him & he agreed to do a custom piece according to our specs.

Just a word on HD. Their tile is inexpensive, often imported from China where imperfect pieces of stone are cobbled together into tile. Tile that would fail inspection at a reputable supplier is regularly sold through HD. You may not realize the horror until it is time to install it. What HD is great at is providing an inexpensive option, and taking things back. YOU MUST INSPECT EACH INDIVIDUAL TILE IN EACH BOX. My best advice to you if you go this route is to order extra boxes of tile, then sit at HD in front of the customer service desk, open each box, remove defective tiles, and replace them with acceptable tiles from other boxes. When you have enough full boxes of inspected acceptable tile, return the rest. Good luck!
