These are some handstamped and painted tiles that I did a while back. I made about 30 of them and gave most of them away. I don't know if I will ever do any more of them.
Our crews did a wonderful job with this full tile shower. It was professionally waterproofed before we set any tile!
Notice a seat in the corner of the shower. You can also see the handheld shower head, which was installed in addition to a standard shower head and body sprays.
Finding the source of a tile roof leak will require tile to be removed. The roofer who installed this leak made the mistake of running the ridge board too long.
This is what the floor will look like - this is just the dry-run. The two copper pipes sticking out from the top of the picture are the hot/cold inlets to the clawfoot tub. The drain pipe is just above my right foot. We made our cuts to go into that corner because you will not see them behind or under the clawfoot tub.(Still need to grout and set the floor tiles)
the combo (backsplash and small granite square) in the middle is out because i thought it was a little too tuscan for my tastes.
the backsplash tile on the left is what i'm going with, but i've changed the color of the countertop to something more brown because this one was a bit too black.
on the far right, those are the accent tiles i'm using in my shower (it'll be those and white subway tile), and the third color in from the left is the wall color.
it's going to be soooo preeetty!
ETA: since i see i've been getting a lot of activity on this photo, i just wanted to let everyone know that i got these sample tile sheets from www.glasstilestore.com/. they were great! at the time i ordered these, it was 5 big sample sheets like this for $20 including shipping. the images on the site are EXACTLY what you get when you order, and the prices are the best out there. if you check out my set titled "new house in progress," you can see the kitchen and the bathroom completed with the 1st and 3rd tiles shown. hope this helps!
This tile was created for Kelly Barone CZT's new studio. She had invited CZTs to send over a Z-string tile. I felt that I'd went overboard with the first, so I created a simpler, second tile (this tile).
The "Tile Car", from Art Donaldson's personal collection, is a 1963 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors.
The original owner, Detlef Schwartz, was a professional plate spinner known by the single theatrical name of "Alcetty". Alcetty first covered the car with leather which cracked within a year. His next attempt was with ceramic tile. The tile was so heavy that it was necessary to cover the body with armor plate, put on overload springs and use shock absorbers. The extra thickness of armor and tile required extension of the car's length to avoid an ugly overhang. Alcetty used elastic autobody putty as an adhesive as well as grout. Then he spray painted the light putty with black paint and wiped the paint off the tiles themselves to give an affect of black grout.
The radiator installed by Alcetty was designed after the tall and elegant Rolls-Royce radiator of classic fame, except he squashed it down to more of a square. It is said that Alcetty's design was the origin of the present Rolls-Royce low radiator design.
The black interior of the car is highlighted with a tile dashboard and tile window panels. One ton of weight was added to the car from the tile which puts the car's total weight at three tons.
Alcetty traded the tile car to a professional magician, John Daniel, of South Pasadena, California for ten thousand dollars worth of toy trains and two carousel animals."
In this workshop, participating artists learned painting on tiles. Each student created a 4-inch and 6-inch tile, experimenting with glazes and color.
At a theater down the street, the front wal was covered with these small tiles. I had my macro lens on the camera, so I had to take a macro photo.
this tile is a part of a series of glass tiles being installed at the Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, VA.
