It's been a while since I've posted here, but as some of you know I make stoneware tiles. I've given some thought to selling some of my tiles on the DG Marketplace, and I'd like opinions from the mosaic-makers before I go further than my thoughts.
Attached is a photo of some handpainted ones; these are 2" tiles painted in sets of 4. They came out flat, and I'd consider them "firsts". That's not always the case, however, especially with larger tiles. I have a bunch of 4" tiles that I'd consider "seconds"---they are not flat (they curved up in the middle during firing). I would guess they can still be used for mosaic work, but everything I've done so far calls for flat tiles. I also have plain cobalt blue tiles, and some other earth-tone colors. Sometimes the designs don't come out well, and I'd just love to see those puppies smashed! And some, of course, get broken while I'm working on a project, but I can't bear to throw them away, so I have a bag of bits that someone might find useful.
The tiles I make are are high-fired stoneware, so they're extremely durable (they'd be OK outside in freezing temps).
Please tell me if you think these might be something mosaic-makers would be interested in buying, or if I need to think of something else to do with them!~
