Sunflower and Aspen Kitchen Tiles

 

First 3 tiles cut!

Sketch of the color palette

Here are a few pictures of the kitchen mural I am making for my sister.  She lives in Evergreen, Colorado and so we went with an Aspen/sunflower theme. We just got back from visiting her at Christmas and I am eager to get to work.

Here is the view from the window of her upstairs apartment where mural will go. As you can see she has quite a few Aspen in her yard ( and quite a bit of snow!). But in the summer her house is surrounded by wild flowers and hummingbirds.

All 46 tiles ready for glazing

Here is the mural after the bisque firing.
And here is a pic of the mural with a clear glaze.

Now we just need to install it in my sisters kitchen! I have plans to go see her in a few weeks and hopefully we will have time to install it!

Here are the tiles installed in the kitchen . This is my first tile mural and I am very happy with how it turned out. A big thank-you to my sister Beverly and her husband Skip for recruiting me to undertake this project. I learned a great deal from the process of creating these 44 tiles.
