these are the tiles that will be surrounding the fireplace by the end of this weekend. they took SO LONG to get just right. i mixed the glaze to the exact color i wanted and applied 4 coats. then i put 1 coat of clear gloss on and fired. oooo-bad. totally inconsistent matte/shiny texture across the surface of each tile. took them home and hand-dipped each one (206) in clear gloss again, sanding off the thick areas...fired them again and VOILA.....the perfect tiles! |

where did these jock children of yours come from??
and i love that green, LOVE IT. don't forget to take a photo as soon as it's done!
Wow. You glazed and fired your own tiles??!! No wonder it is taking a long time to finish the job! How do you fit everything in with a full time job and the sports, and making jewelry.
I think you are a rock star!
The color is beautiful, by the way.
