I love hand painted tiles! I taught a class on tile painting some years back and it's not as hard as you might think - there's a line of glazes out, made in France, that can be fired right in your kitchen oven. You've inspired me to do a post on my own blog about it in the near future! Thanks!
Tiles are a classic for mosaic, after all! Those are an exceptional collection.
Candy, what pattern are the green depression glass tumblers that are often in your table settings? They look somewhat like Hazel-Atlas 'New Century', but I didn't think there were footed tumblers in that pattern. I'm very new to depression glass, though, and don't have any books here to look them up, so if you know I'd love to learn about these. Thanks.
I so appreciate you all stopping by to see my mosaic for today! It is a bright sunny day here in California and it smells like Spring! I'm on my way out to Home Depot to find some paint for a project I'm working on.
Before I forget let me address Nell's question about the green depression glasses that you'll see on many of my tablescapes. I'm not really a collector of depression glass, so my knowledge base is very limited.
A reader of TLRT actually did ID these for me several months ago as Anchor Hocking's "Pillar Optic" design, sometimes called "Logs" or "Log Cabin"
Beautiful tiles. And so interesting; I think the middle is my favorite.
