Absolutely fabulous!  How did you make your tiles? Did you use unglazed
tile and paint them yourself? I dont think tile gets any more creative than
this. congratulations.

So, Beth, you got any pichers of this mirror?
Seems like it woulda been a whole hellofa lot easier to make that whole thing on the bench and then pewt it up, no?
It is a wonderous piece.

Thanks, Everybody!
Oh, cx, I'm sure I could've found an easier way to do this thing! :lol: It was a learning experience, for sure!
Let me put up some of the in-progress pics, to better explain the whole pseudo-mosaic thing...
I rolled out several big slabs (I have a slab-roller), then carved out grout channels to make the pictures.
The big sections then got chopped into smaller, easier-to-handle chunks. Then fired, then hand-glazed, then fired again.
