A very good customer of mine recently ordered some handpainted address tiles. I also painted a mailbox in the same design.
These are Texas Bluebonnets & Daisies , painted on 6" square ceramic tiles.
I used paints that I can put right in the oven. First I did the numbers and background and then baked the tiles once. I did this so I wouldn't have any problem with the background pulling up as I painted the design or if I made some mistakes on the design and needed to erase as I went along, I wouldn't have to worry about the background coming up with it. Once the tiles are baked in the oven, the design is bonded to the tiles and will not come off.
I enjoyed painting them so much that I think I will add them to my website sometime in the near future.

Very nice blog you have here Ruth. I love your work - and your garden is beautiful. Thanks for your nice comment today.
These are a real work of art, unique and individual....very pretty, very feminine, with a lovely translucent quality about them like stain-glass. I love painted tiles.
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! You do such fine work Ruth!
