So my second project is based primarily around my interest in glazes and textures. I am in a sense making multiple ceramic tiles and engraving different textures and designs on each. I have already begun mixing new glaze recipes and will soon begin applying them to the tiles. I love the way the designs are turning out- and it's almost as if every new day of making tiles is a new style of engraving and so all the tiles have very distinct patterns from one day to the next. I talked to abby about ways that I could display the tiles. A few ideas are floating around in my head:

I could either frame them in a shadowbox and diaply the piece on the wall (either in 3 smaller boxes or 1 large one). Another idea i was playing with was to make a type of mosaic out of them. I thought it would also be cool to lay the pieces out as a tabletop and pour a type of sh alack on top. I pretty much decided to make the tiles, glaze and fire them all then decide exactly how many i plan to use and that will help determine my final project.

This site also gave me some interesting ideas: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivqKYTScjGwNjPLSWQQosarl3w5w9-6Xh0tLlVcuwYZkZqImufiqRybsd5-EgpCLMREATbRWEgMEPKpAuwL3VZbSTuuaZu8TgAWkcIREHGXZcYwQlF4UrTHuOaEZ6UQjjV_o5smGo1aQ8/s400/Brian+M.+Besch+-+Untitled+(green%2Btile%2Bwall%2Bpiece%2Bdetail).jpg&imgrefurl=http://synapseartworks.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html&h=300&w=400&sz=26&hl=en&start=112&um=1&usg=__4FhkoWxun-iLmnDGFUJHvj-FS7s=&tbnid=1nEAa3nIXQ3z3M:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcone%2B10%2Btest%2Btiles%26start%3D108%26ndsp%3D18%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

this is a page ive bookmarked also- it gives me a lot of cool ideas for textures to use for the tiles.
