I did it again. Beautiful installation pictures showed up in my inbox, I didn't post them right away, and then, somehow, they slipped through the cracks. This hearth belongs to a talented nature photographer in Montana, and as you can tell from the turkeys on the mantle, she sent these to me back in November. Oops! Better late than never, right?
I posted these to my instagram page before posting them here, and people loved how the tiles wrap around the hearth. You can see it really well in this progress photo:
Here is another progress photo that shows the different animals up close:
And here is one more of the completed hearth from a slightly different angle and with different lighting:
Just beautiful! Very big thanks to S.F. for seeking out handmade tiles and taking the time to send pictures. I know there are more fantastic installation pictures in my email archives. I'm planning to post more of them this spring!
