Lisbon, Portugal.

This is a small vignette that I built purely for my own pleasure (for once). ;-) The roof uses this technique, and after I figured that out, everything else just fell into place. As always, please fave this post and if you like what you see and haven't followed me, please do so! Thank you!

I found these two headstones interesting as it's not often I see tile work incorporated into the memorials.

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.

Medieval floor tiles from the 13th century abound in Winchester Cathedral. They form the largest surviving spread of medieval decorated floor tiles inside any building in England.

I wonder whose feet have trodden on these tiles.

Stumbled on an absolutely marvelous local museum. The Museum of Santa Ynez is well worth a visit. Especially noteworthy was an exhibit of part of a privately owned Kimono collection. The fabrics, the colors, but most amazingly, the workmanship on these fabric masterpieces was worth the drive there. Also, an very nice and well presented wagon collection...and many other items of interest. This tile was on a fountain in the middle of the interior courtyard.

part of the facade on the new taco joint that's opening up where Stewart's used to be.

I was pretty bummed that Stewart's had closed.....they're rootbeer floats were one of the few boardwalk goodies I'd occasionally get a craving for.

I do like a good taco however...

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!

Not sure what the small mammal is peeking out next to the gum flower, maybe a pygmy possum? Or some kind of mouse?

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.

Roof tiles in the southern Portuguese village of Castro Marim. The semi-tubular shapes of the terra cotta tiles are redolent of Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Portuguese tiles have their own distinctive shape, but what interested me here was the conflict between the two roofs, which slope at right angles to one another. The roofs are in fact being viewed from a high angle, from the battlements of Castro Marim castle.

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 :)

Toynbee tile in Toronto, by House of Hades, 2022-07-21 and 2022-09-09. Will have to wait a little longer for the full reveal.

Several sheets of these tiles came into our possession. Really beautiful. We don't have a plan to use them . . . yet.

Proof of concept for another kind of mosaic involving 2 kinds of tiles, randomly shuffled.

I first read about this years ago, in a column or book by Martin Gardner, A.K. Dewdney, Douglas Hofstadter or Clifford Pickover. Or maybe somewhere else, but probably one of those four... My idols. :)
