A quick peek at my new textured tiles in rusty metal frames for the “4×4” gallery show. Handmade & soda-fired tiles. A perfect combo in my world… you know how much I love textured AND rusty metal!!!

And a few close-up shots so you can see a few of the details, textures & bling!!!
Shades of blue… hence the theme… “Interpretations of Blue.”

And here’s a little preview of how I think these textured tiles are going to lay-out. Trying to mix them all up evenly… “forced random” as I like to call it. There might be some changes along the way… but for now I need to start wiring it all together!

Textured tiles after soda-firing… getting ready to lay them out to create a wall hanging
tapestry for “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS”. Gotta get them all put together so they can hang
on the wall of Space 900 in just three days!!!

Also loving the mix of textures from using my favorite handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools!

Working on a fun wall piece for “4×4″… lots of textures, lots of tiles. And this is what it looked like BEFORE soda-firing… just a lot of tenmoku glazed inlaid into the textures. More to come…

Sprayed with clear glaze… ready for a firing! Fingers crossed…

Some rectangular textured tiles with tenmoku glaze inlay for “4×4”… looking like this before they were soda-fired. More to come… but here’s a hint… there “might” also be RUSTY METAL involved. I’m kinda excited…

Another version of my blue mini-tile quilts.
Kinda diggin’ the juxtaposition of the colors & angles.
We’ll see how they turn out after glazing!

Textured tiles… mini tiles kinda creating a “quilt” of sorts. Each individual tile is less than an inch square. Thanks to MKM Pottery Tools for cool handrollers that made most of these textures!

Celebrating a little TILE TUESDAY… with a photo of an installation on my back porch. All of the tiles were handmade… and now each tile hangs on a single nail. So they wiggle & swing when you swipe your hands across it.
