With an incredible bricolage mural already gracing the Bryn Mawr underpass
of Lake Shore Drive here in Chicago… it’s finally time for another one!
Rumor has it that the Alderman wants to do all of the underpasses along
Lake Shore Drive in her Ward. And I’m all for it!!!
So the new one is a work in progress… starting with a rough drawing on the wall
of the “basic” design & structure of the wall. Both sides of the street are being done
with different designs. One of the key properties of these bricolage projects
is the random assortment of tiles, shards and mirrors all creating the big design!
As well as special tile pieces made to commemorate different aspects & events
of the neighborhood. It will be fun to watch the bricolage project continue over
the next few weeks – ending with the final grouting to finish it all off.
I love your wall tiles, could you tell me if they are 2 inches or smaller… ?
thanks… your work is beautiful…

KATHIE – I currently make two different tile sizes. Most of them are just a smidge over 1-1/4″ square. The newer, slighty-larger size are 2″ square. I’ve been making the smaller size for years, but recently tried the new medium size… and they’re winning me over quickly!!!
