California Dreamin'

Doesn't this California pool with spa look appealing?

What a magical place this must be to spend time in the water, surrounded by beauty. I made the autumn brown tiles that feature flowers approximately 2 years ago, before autumn glaze was discontinued. Here is what the flower tiles looked like before they left the studio:

And here is what they look like today:

I'm so glad these clients ordered the feature tiles when they did because autumn was the perfect choice for this project. It harmonizes beautifully with the commercial tiles they choose. The homeowners recently told me they still love the tiles, and even hired me to make tiles for their bathroom as well. As you can imagine, that makes me very happy. The bathroom tiles are on the way to CA right now. Hopefully they like them and I will get to see that installation as well. Thank you E.K., for your continued support of my small business!
