The whole table took 3 months of weekends and evenings.
The worst thing was cutting all the tiles to fit, because I use normal house wall tiles and don't buy expensive glass mosaic tiles, once you have smashed them, you have to nibble or cut off the curved edges, so that all your tiles lie flat.
All the square tiles around the border were also cut by hand, and I wore out three pairs of tile nibblers making it.
I have another Mosaic Table, the same size, but cut down to coffe table height, of four hens which is in red gold and green tiles and they were floor tiles so twice as thick - that one took me much longer, and my hands were worn out and aching quicker than the nibblers, but it is really nice, and the colours are so warm and christmassy, just too big for the lounge we have at the moment, so it is in storage above the farm shop. Will post a picture when I can get to it - I did it for Joe as a Christmas Present when we were into breeding hens.
