6"x6" A mosaic just filled with color and texture. Made with beads, millefiori, smalti, glitter tiles, colorfusion tiles, glass rods, tiny tiles, van gogh glass, mirror tile. Listed on my etsy site.
pleated waves à la Goran Konjevod folded in Vienna.
folded from a very beautiful sheet of Hilli's paper. the distribution of the colours and the shiny parts create the impression that the whole thing is made from lots of small tiles like a mosaic. I love that :-)))
A mid-block wall of little tiles in Meadville, Pennsylvania. From old Street Views it appears the tiles were hidden behind a wooden facade of a bar that was long gone by 2008. Here's the 2015 view before the facade was removed.
There are 49 tiles in the collage. I took these pictures of the tiles on different buildings in Lisboa and Porto. This was quite a project I must confess.....
When I discovered how much fun it was to paint pebbles a while back I had an idea that it might be fun to use these acrylic pens on other items such as tiles. We discovered we had some spare tiles in the shed left over from when we had the kitchen and bathrooms redone, and JJ and I decorated some of them. I wonder if you can recognise our styles and work out which ones JJ did! He painted 4 - I did the rest.
I gave one to Matt and Sophie for their anniversary and am going to give my sister one when I see her as it's her anniversary in September! We've recently tidied up our lean-to and JJ had the idea it would be nice to have a line up along the wall that the kitchen window looks out at! A lot of the year we have washing up here but in the summer it's much clearer and we can enjoy looking out at them!
The first photo shows them in the garden after I sprayed them with protective spray and the second pic shows them up on the wall, using Command strips.
These were a recent Ebay purchase -- I think I bought all four tiles for $10 + shipping. I need to clean them up and would like to mount them and hang them on a wall somewhere. Too many projects, too little time.
I found these two headstones interesting as it's not often I see tile work incorporated into the memorials.
The tiles made by Johnsons in Stoke that didn't make it past quality control. Most of these will be pulverised and have a sort of second chance to make it to the sales shelf.
Another bit of tread fun, this time with the rubber ones from the Granite Grinder. 1x2 tiles fit perfectly over the raised portions. It can still roll freely, and the tiles remain in place. They also give it rigidity if you try to bend the ring inward.
I've actually had this sitting around since before I got any power miners, but now I have tons of these treads, so I may have to do something with it.
This butterfly kept on landing on the tiles instead of on flowers. If the wings weren't in such good condition , I would have thought it to be a senior with failing eyesight.
This is the first block I've made of a 9 block quilt from the new book Tile Quilt Revival. It's hand appliqued, needle turn technique. Fun to do and I'm loving the results!
Australiana: decorative tiling close up.
Not sure what the small mammal is peeking out next to the gum flower, maybe a pygmy possum? Or some kind of mouse?

Took this shot of these golden tiles down in Chinatown....thought they had a really cool finish....lots of crackles and texture...
This is another collaboration image....shot by me and post processing by Sean (thanks- I think the result here is really fab) :-)

As seen in the Leal Senado Building, Macau
"The Leal Senado Building (Portuguese for Loyal Senate) was the seat of Portuguese Macau's government (Legislative Assembly of Macau and Municipal Council of Macau). It is located at one end of the Senado Square in São Lourenço, Macau, China. The title was bestowed on Macau's government in 1810 by Portugal's Prince Regent João, who later became King John VI of Portugal. This was a reward for Macau's loyalty to Portugal, which refused to recognise Spain’s sovereignty during the Philippine Dynasty that it occupied Portugal, between 1580 and 1640. A plaque ordered by the king commemorating this can still be seen inside the entrance hall." Wikipedia
And six years on, it isn't only the tiles that have gone. This entire building has been reduced to waist level (or maybe shoulder level, depending on one's height), so that only a truncated brick wall now remains.
This site is on is on the north side of Cumberland Road in Bristol, where it runs parallel with the River Avon - behind me when I took the photograph - as it negotiates the New Cut. Cumberland Road is on my preferred route by car into the city from the west, so I have had plenty of opportunity over the years to see this structure's gradual decline, and to speculate about what will replace it. Ideally I would like to do a little research into the building's original purpose but, as is usual for me, time and inclination are in short supply.

Here's a roughly equivalent view of the site with Google Maps Street View today (17th September 2018).
I have decided to begin sharing photos of Bristol from my archive again, such as this one. I recognise that these photos have limited general appeal, and I only expect Bristolians or Bristol enthusiasts to be interested in them. Having said that, any feedback I do receive is of course greatly appreciated, as always.

WEEK 39 – “Stateline Square” Former Super Kmart
Yep, it may actually be possible that Bargain Hunt made this place worse when it moved in!! Not dissing the store – but it ain't pretty, by any means. At least Kmart left the tile here when it moved out. That in all probability went bad over the years (oh, by the way: Burlington and garden center tenant Home Décor Liquidators have been here for a long time, but Bargain Hunt only moved in recently), so I don't blame Bargain Hunt for tossing it – just for not doing anything to even cover it up after the fact.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
