a/part of new work... 2

Here I've duct taped the section where the moss garden will set on the the panel and drilled holes. The holes are to anchor the white glue I'm using to adhere the bed of brick and mortar.

I used a stone chisel and hammer to break down an old brick with mortar attached. I worked the surface within the taped area with the wet adhesive, being sure that the glue went down into the holes and creating an 1/8" bedding of adhesive to set the brick/mortar in. The cracks between I filled with the dust and smaller pieces of brick/mortar into the wet adhesive. Once the adhesive dries I'll remove any loose materials, and hopefully that won't be the whole pane as I'm really experimenting here...
