I’ve been playing with clay since 1997.  I’ve done some really big pieces.  The biggest of those pieces is “Chesapeake”, at the visitors center in North Beach Md.  I *know* that when I’m making my own tiles and they are to fit together a certain way, as for the top of the vanity I am making granddaughter, I know that I should make a “map” of the pattern before I move it to the drying racks.  Do I always do what I know I should?  Of course not.

So today’s creativity is primering the vanity for granddaughter that I showed you previously.  And in order to take it outside and do that I had to take the tiles off the top of it and put them on the drying rack.  I sort of got them in some kind of order.  And I DO have the picture I took to show you here for a simple map.  And did I know when I was moving them that it was probably not one of my better decisions?  You bet.  And I did it anyways.  Such is human nature.  Or at least this human’s nature – something about adventure and puzzles and solving them against all odds.  You know how it goes?

And because simply seeing a primered vanity isn’t all that exciting, I’m also including a picture of a chair I tiled probably 8 years back.  It was all tiled and then the tiles on the chair back didn’t work and it sat around for 8 year until I started playing with mosaics.  This summer I refinished the chair back and now it isn’t bad.  Although I didn’t do it today, I’m offering it as eye candy.  Enjoy!
