those are wonderful. i cant wait until i retire later this year, then i can take a ceramics class to make tiles.

OK, you l'il heifer. I'll be paying you a visit next week.

Here's some from yesterdays experiment..the white one is melted marbles.

Here is a link that might be useful: more tiles

Great job. I have to say that that is the only time I miss my kiln is experimenting.
I made some platters and crosses melting glass a while back and loved them.

Well, just bring yourself on up here and we'll spearmint together..thanks for the great job stuff..I use my little kiln for most of my experimenting and my large one for lots of tiles and other ceramic stuff..I am making a lot of tinkling toadstools and mushrooms now. I think they would look great with mosaic on them.

Hey, girlie: That one looks like an abstract painting. VERY nice. What are "tinkling" toadstools?

They are ceramic toadstools on long stems that tinkle when the wind blows..you'll see them when you come down here next week...Thanks all, I am having fun with this.

Flag, I'm loving these tiles. Can't you just see a kitchen with all of these tiles mixed together?? I think it would be awesome, course you already have a fantastic Fiestay kitchen but something about these 4" ones makes me think of putting them all together, maybe inside of one of those ole time windows..

Keep on 'sperimenting, I'm enjoying seeing all of the eye candy.

I really need to take a road trip.
All my kids are moving out August the first, and I am hoping to get myself back together and get my house and my mosaics back to working order.
I wanna see the toadstools.

A KILN!!! Tinkling Toadstools!!! Your yard is so amazing!!! I cannot fathom what it must be like to be you and wake up to that kitchen every morning...and go out to that workshop!!! MAN! I Gotta get my butt down there to see you two(u&Slow)...A kiln....hmmm, my BDay is coming....nah, no way, Mr No would Never go for it....

Janey- You know Slow and I keep tempting you and Cindy...just bring yourselves on/ Maybe we could have a big get together this fall when the weather gets cooler. I know it would be more enjoyable that this Texas heat..heat index 105-108 today. I was out cutting some stuff on the saw earlier and even wet and with a fan, the sweat was pouring off me. I will do you guys a picture of the toadstools, have to stick them in the ground to have them stand up,,so in the morning..too hot now. I think you could talk him into a kiln if you tried real hard...
There is no lack of inspiration here or at Slow's. We go to each others house to get inspired. Don't forget to start saving and planning that trip now...it will be cheaper than PV.lol

Way cool!!! I love em!!!! Wouldn't want to be there right now, way too HOT for me!!! It's been 75 here the last few days....75/80 here is like 95/100 there though. But it's enough....I would wilt like a pice of lettuce!!!!!!!!

Wow Flag, I am so impressed. Just think of the possibilities. You ought to patent this little gem of an idea. Love the tiles. I can imagine having a backsplash done with some of these.

I am more of a lurker here and love to see everyone's beautiful art. I just love your tiles. What great ideas that everyone comes up with.
I too would like to see your toadstools.

BUMP

Those are great, Flag! What a grand way to use up bits and pieces. Did they all turn out in their own interesting way? Were there things you'd tell us NOT to do from what you learned? They all look like they'd be pretty expensive to buy. Great experiment!
