December: bags of 25, 50 or 100 tiles available

By now you could buy bags of 100 tiles at our etsy shop. Some clients told us that they like like to get less than that amount. Hence we changed the offer.

Now the lowest amount possible is 25 tiles of one color.

That gives you the opportunity to mix and match one color and decorated tiles. Enjoy it!

July: glazing and firing miniature tiles

After having received orders we made the tiles for different projects. As you can see there are square tiles, quarter tiles, double size tiles, triangles and tiles of special width. All tiles are glazed in the desired colours and placed separtely on the kiln furniture by hand. It is quite a lot of work! By following this procedure we get miniature tiles which look like real full size tiles!

By the way: the colour variation of the brown glaze is intentioned and due to the application of an sensible old fashioned very glossy glaze.


June: traditional bathroom

A lady from the US likes to have tiles for her miniature bathroom. It was her wish to get a traditional floor with brown, back and creme colours. We made the layout and gave colour ideas. She likes the right one best. The walls were desgined accordingly. Creme tiles at the bottom and a band of black and brown quarter tiles one row below the top. Now we are going to make the tiles for the project and will show you the result in 4-6 weeks.


May: Kitchen of Correio-Mor palace in Portugal

Down in the kitchen of the palace Correio-Mor in Louresin you find a very special  tile mural. It shows how the cooking was done at the first half of the 18 th c.

A broad band of shells, waves, flower ornaments and richly decorated pilaster frame the scene. The cutouts at the top and bottom add depth and plasticity.

 

Jörg fell in love with this special tile mural and designed a roombox in 1 to 12 scale for it. With the help of his friends and miniature artists he gives the scene a lively apprearance. Even the cook is satisfied with the result!

Thanks to Jörg, the party can start now!

January: Bathroom

 

In November 2015 we presented this floor. It was a real chalenge to make it because of the curvy segment at the front part and all the cutouts.

 

In the meantime Francoise got the floo, cut it our and tested the fit.

 

The green tiles have a glossy surface and the creme ones are silkmat. By looking at it you can see that the floor consists of real tiles!

 

This is the view into the room. Francoise has glued down all tiles and finally grout it. With grout it even looks more real!

Francoise matched the colours of the wallpaper with the floor ones! We like it very much!
