HISTORICAL NOTE: the house was in the process of being built
when Richard Nash died in 1605. He left it to his son, John
Nash (later alderman and noted Worcester benefactor), he lived
at Nos 5 and 6 (qv) but left Nash House to his to his kinsman,
Richard Nash of Droitwich. Richard moved into the house in 1674
and made alterations, adding 2 new chimneys and coach access.
He also probably gave the house its name. John Hughes,
Alderman, purchased the house in 1689.
Nash House and Greyfriars (qv) both have a frieze of scrollwork
dragons and sheaf-like motif.

Tiles laid out on the island to plan for installation.
The gray tiles are porcelain, and will be cut to fit against the mass of colored dots all the way around the outside. That sounds like a lot of cutting, but the tile guys think it will be interesting.

For anyone more interested in the project, check out this case study.
One of a Zodiac series, on a late 1950-s or early 1960s Hereford tiles blank. As well as decorating their own tiles, they supplied blanks to decorators, who did not always mark each tile. So I am not sure of the artist in this case.

A transfer print registered to the Staffordshire Tile Company of Longport, Stoke on Trent, in 1893. Not a huge lot more is known about the company; these particular tiles are decorated on blanks of a type made by Marsden, and in 1900 there was a 'Staffordshire Art Tile Company' with an address on the Liverpool Road in Stoke, far enough away from Longport to either be a different company, or the original had moved and changed name.

I created a (windows) application for merging single tiles into one big image, because of Flash cannot handle a bigger BitmapData object than 2880x2880 px.
It's free, so feel free to use it.
More info:
This tile was installed in a large home with wide open spaces. It was chosen for its travertine appearance, and as an imported Italian tile, its size and shape added depth to the home.
H&R Johnson blanks, outer tiles 1970, central tile 1980's? Kenneth Clark and his wife Ann (nee Wynn-Reeves) were giants of tile design in the 1960's onwards, developing a range of innovative techniques and super designs.

I was wishing for tiles in pearl gold. This is one of the options I tried. It's not a perfect tile replica, but it is interesting to me. (Other options involve using SNOT or cheese slopes, etc.)
(For some reason when I scan my images, they won't enlarge as well on flickr. The sprue marks aren't that noticeable in this image, but in real life the sprue marks are really noticeable. Most of my pieces have the dot centered, but some of them have it off-centered, some to the left, some to the right. I really like all the parts of a pattern to be perfect, so this inconsistency irks me. The ones with the off-centered sprue marks are in the upper right-hand corner.) (Oh, and there is some color variation too. I kind of thought that the ones with a lighter color of gold would all have a different sort of sprue mark, but they don't. So much for that hypothesis.)

Macro Mondays: "On the Road" theme
When I travel I like to bring home distinctive (and sometimes quirky) items to remind me of a place.
This is a small ceramic tile I got in Barcelona. It is a replica tile of a design by Antoni Gaudi. This patterned tile appears on many boulevards and walkways in Barcelona and in some of the surrounding smaller towns in Catalunya. I love the pattern which is based on sea life. When the tiles (which are 6 sided) are placed together they form another swirling pattern.
