tile on stucco?
anyone have experience or photos of tile applied on stucco? The exterior of my cabin has very thick rugged stucco...I'd like to apply a border of
thin, light decorative glass tile around a door. thought I would chisel out (pare down)where I would apply each tile and set them even with the stucco
surface. Not sure if this is a bizarre method or if it is acceptable. ?

I have two tile "pictures" installed that way on my stucco home here in La Mesa, Ca. Looks classy, go for it!

It would be better to grind or cut the stucco with a diamond wheel grinder to make the recess for the tiles and bedding mortar.
"Chiseling" the stucco can result in cracks and fracturing in the stucco under the new tiles or, worse yet, outside of the tile area.
The impacts can also loosen the stucco's bond to its underlying strata.

Use Polimor to stick it on the stucco. Fymsa stocks it.

Good point about fracturing the stucco. thanks. No power for wheel grinding. But probably would not look too great set right on the stucco.

Tile surrounding a door is a problem; door being shut causes tile and grout to fall out. Use the polyurathane-based adhesive (like a liq nails but
much stronger) or E6100 adhesive if you can get it. Epoxy is the best and will adhere to the smoothness of the back of the glass.
Grout will fall out with the slamming of the door. Buy a lot more grout than you need and use it for repairs or use colored caulking.
