Travertine Backsplash - New "Subway" Tile

Travertine Backsplash. The beginning.
Building it up - starting to look like something...
These are 2" wide strips of travertine stone tile - cut to random lengths - They range from 4" - 16" long. This gives it a new "modified" subway tile design.
Almost complete...
                                              An "Old World" look on a new world budget.
