The other tile mosaics I posted were just an "art illusion". See I didn't actually glue anything down. I was just trying to play with different arrangements before I actually made it permanent. I decided the more tiles the better, make it look really busy. My motto always tends to be "More is more." These tiles include 4 large ceramic floor tiles that I bought at the hardware "reStore" and 10 smaller ceramic floor tiles. These were painted with inks. Then I have 8 small commercially made tiles. Finally, 10 more pieces are made from Sculpey. These clay Sculpey tiles were "test runs" for a project I want to do at school with the kids. We make mosaics in the 4/5 class and I think it would be more fun to have them make some of their own tiles. I tested out making some with regular firing clay also. We'll see how those look when they are all finished.
