Elemental tiles

So clearly this is a very large post, full of the above images. I will explain...

I was in Lewes this summer, at a show, and I fell into a delightful discussion with a local Bed & Breakfast owner. She runs the Awaken Inn in Millsboro De, and has rooms beautifully decorated in the 4 elements. That got us thinking; and I did some elemental tiles. She may be hanging some in her inn, on the rooms' doors... We'll see. It was fun to play with the varieties on a theme, especially color and the contrast between shiny glaze and matte areas.

Do you, loyal reader, have a favorite? Clearly I was working with "Earth" and "Fire" here...even adding gold leaf on the flame of the candles.
