@kenSwinson I would order a couple of these !
@richardinsandy Thank you! I'd love that! I'm working out a few details--then want to make a whole series to choose from, then will offer them on my website. Stay tuned! Thanks again!

@cookiesinheaven Thank you! Those tiles are great! Wow! What a portfolio. Thanks for sharing--very inspirational!
@kenSwinson He does some wonderful work. I love the whimsy.

@kenSwinson

They are awesome. Kinda like ceramic linocut in the best way.

@tempusfelix Thank you! I have a relief printmaking background, and used a lot of the techniques carving these. The 3d element of sculpture really makes it interesting!
@kenSwinson Aaaaah, so cool! Hoping when you do, you can mail them... cos I will order!
@arisummerland Thank you! I think, since they are flat, i will be able to mail them - I always appreciate your support! Thanks again!
@kenSwinson hah showed my sister and she wants to order! 😊
@arisummerland Awesome! I had better get the process worked out...i'm going to try to fire a few more tests today. -tell her to stay tuned!
@kenSwinson I am so happy for you and your progress as an artist. Love them. ❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️
@toddbuddy Thank you! You know me--always pushing and learning something new! Thanks again!
@kenSwinson these are so gorgeous and cute!!! obsessed ❤️
@snemish Thank you! I'm obsessed too!!
@kenSwinson puts me in mind if the tiles Time Team used to dig up sometimes.
@kgoetz Maybe in 100 years, Time Team will dig my tiles up and do a segment?!
@kenSwinson
I can easily visualize these happy tiles having an honored place in any home of good taste, Ken.
@Guillotine_Jones Thanks! I hope so-they are unique, and i can't wait to see how someone would incorporate them into their home.
@kenSwinson Well done dude! There is a very real market for hand made tiles! Fine your demographic and let them know what you can do. Including hand made tiles with mass produced tiles improve the looks of the project 10 fold!
@apples_and_pears Thank you! I live near Cincinnati, Ohio, where the Rookwood pottery is famous for some of their tiles--also not too far from Michigan, where there are some really good art tile studios. I have been an art tile collector for awhile, and now I'm making them-it's been exciting!

@kenSwinson You're talented :) Charge accordingly.

Are those custom tile prints hanging/drying in the background of your profile pic?

@kenSwinson Beautiful! Once they're ready for sale, I'll check them out to see if their size works with any of my empty spaces. I really need to put some tiles back up!
@spiegelmama Thanks! My goal is 4" tiles, but with clay's shrinkage, some of mine are coming out more like 4.25. Eventually I want to make 6" and possibly 12" square tiles-maybe some rectangle tiles too.
Congratulations! They are beautiful!
