Native Animals and Plants get into your home…a tiling project! as told to me by Wanda
My tile work is something that I figured out on my own, after working with my husband, remodeling houses. I was doing the tile cutting, and got pretty good at it. Right now, I have just finished doing another picture, which is a palm tree, which will go into the corner of a small bathroom, which will be the shower also. There are 2 flamingos to the left of the tree, and about 5 butterflies spread around. Right now, this picture is on my dining room table.
To start with, you have to have a wet saw, to cut the tile, then collect different colors, to use in different pictures. I never did this while we were remodeling houses to sell, but when we decided to move into our barn, 13 years ago, I decided to see what I could do.
The first picture I did, was the clipper ship, I drew up the picture on graph paper, and then re- drew it on the tile which I lay out on my Dining Room Table. then #2 the picture of our barn, over my stove, #3 The mermaids #4 the tree in the corner, with a girl on the swing, #5 was the aquarium, where I acquired a little wet saw, that was like a jig saw, and I could write my name in my work,. #6 the iris around the jacuzzi.
