Sketching ideas - thinking about design, layout and composition, line, texture, mood
Tiles drying and waiting to be bisque fired.
The backs of the bisque fired tiles with glass inserts. 
These clay tiles were rolled out about 3/8" thick so that I could carve a place to inset the glass for slumping. Here the glass has been fused, slumped, ground down to sit flush with the back of the tiles, and then attached with 100% silicone adhesive. (sorry, I forgot to take pictures of all of those in between steps.)

The glass I used for these pieces was created the same way as my line of fused glass pendants. I hope to eventually write a post detailing that process and technique. Until then, you can see pictures here.
Thanks for finding a moment in your busy day to check in on what's been going on here.

What clay body are you using? The color is very brown when wet . . . not like any I remember seeing before.
Meagan - these tiles are great. In fact I like this (darker) color palette on tiles better than the minis. The rich blue glass really sets it off. You have a tremendous sense of color & design.
Hey Paul,
I use Lymen Red from Highwater Clays. It is a little brown when wet, but probably not as much as it looks like in the picture. It's been a great clay body for my work!
Thank you so much Judy!
Hey Meagan,
I'm late catching up! (I've successfully been away from the computer these days, aren't you proud of me?) I really like the blue glass poking through those tile plaques, cool!
Hope you're doing great! How'd the rosemary bread turn out?

Thanks Joy! The bread came out great! I definitely recommend adding fresh rosemary to that recipe. I've made it twice now! Super yummy!
