HANDCRAFTED DECORATIVE
CERAMIC TILE
DECORATIVE CERAMIC TILE
I TRULY ENJOY THE FLORAL AND BOTANICAL SCENES OF NATURE. ANOTHER
AREA THAT I WAS ALWAYS FOND OF, WAS THE OLD WORLD ORNAMENTAL DESIGNS THAT CAN
BE SEEN IN DECORATIVE METALWORK.
MY VISION WAS TO MIX THOSE THEMES TOGETHER,
AND CREATE SOME DECORATIVE CERAMIC TILE THAT WAS DISTINCTIVE AND UNIQUE.
THE PROCESS ~..TO ADD A LITTLE TEXTURE
AND DEPTH TO THE PIECE, THE DESIGNS WERE LIGHTLY ENGRAVED AND ETCHED INTO THE
TILE, THEN THE DEPRESSIONS WERE INLAYED WITH PAINT TO ADD SOME COLOR AND
HIGHLIGHT.
ORNAMENTAL FRAMES WERE FABRICATED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TILE,
I REALLY WANTED TO FOCUS ON THIS AREA TO GIVE EACH PIECE ITS OWN ORIGINAL LOOK,
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN BE PARTICULAR ABOUT, SO I HOPE THEY ARE ACCEPTED
WELL WITH THE TILE.
IF YOU LIKE ART NOUVEAU AND ABSTRACT TILES, YOU MIGHT ENJOY
THESE ART TILES.
ORNAMENTAL FLOWER
"ORNAMENTAL FLOWER"...A VIBRANT AND FLOWING DEPICTION OF AN ORNAMENTAL
FLOWER. THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS DESIGN CAME FROM AN OLD TEXTILE PATTERN
IN THE VICTORIAN ERA.
SOLID STEEL FRAME FEATURING SOME DECORATIVE SCROLLWORK,
AND A COLORFUL PATINA, BLEND THE OVERALL FLORAL ASPECT OF THIS PIECE.
I REALLY
LIKE THESE OLD WORLD STYLES, TO ME THEY ARE STILL AN ATTRACTIVE FORCE IN TODAYS
CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS.
ETRUSCAN ROOSTER
"ETRUSCAN ROOSTER" THIS DECORATIVE CERAMIC WALL TILE FEATURES A DISPLAY
OF A ROOSTER THAT CAN BE FOUND IN SOME ANCIENT ROMAN DESIGNS, ETRUSCAN
ARTISTS WERE FREQUENTLY EMPLOYED TO DECORATE HOUSES OF THE ROMANS, USUALLY
SOME TYPE OF WALL MURAL OR FLOOR DECORATION.
BECAUSE I WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE TRUE SHAPE OF A HISTORICAL DESIGN,
I DID NOT ADD ANY OVERBEARING STATEMENTS TO THE PIECE, ALTHOUGH NOT PART
OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, SOME SMALL CORNER FLOURISHES WERE ADDED FOR A MILD
DECORATIVE TOUCH.
TILE IS SET IN A
STEEL FRAME, WHICH IS FINISHED IN BLACK GRANITE PAINT. IF YOU LIKE
ROOSTERS, I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY THE HISTORICAL VERSION OF THIS ONE.
BLOSSOM WHORL
"BLOSSOM WHORL" A BOLD ABSTRACT CREATION, I WANTED TO PRESENT A VERY
STRONG FLORAL DESIGN THAT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE SOFT AND DELICATE
CHARACTERISTICS OF NATURE.
SOMETHING ALIEN THAT YOU MIGHT FIND ON A
DISTANT PLANET, IS WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
THE FRAME FOR THIS ONE IS KIND OF
GOTHIC IN STRUCTURE, I THINK IT REALLY GOES WELL WITH THE OVERALL THEME
OF THIS DECORATIVE
TILE WALL ART CREATION.
CORNUCOPIA
"CORNUCOPIA" THIS DECORATIVE TILE FEATURES A SIMPLE BUT
ATTRACTIVE CORNUCOPIA, ALSO KNOWN AS THE (HORN OF PLENTY). TO
ME IT REPRESENTS A TRADITIONAL SYMBOL OF THANKSGIVING, BUT ALSO
HAS ROOTS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY.
ORIGINAL IDEA FOR THIS ONE WAS
SOME OLD WALLPAPER I HAD SEEN IN A KITCHEN A FEW YEARS AGO.
TILE IS SET IN A METAL FRAME, WITH LOTUS-BUD SHAPED ORNAMENTS
EXTENDING OUT. THE PAINT FINISH IS FLAT BLACK, GIVING SOME
DOMINANCE TO THE CERAMIC WHITENESS OF THE TILE.
