Tiny Herons

The heron collection keeps growing because the heron tiles keep shrinking! The original tile (the 4"x8" heron facing left, which has been in production since April 2011) is pictured above next to one of my newest tiles, an adorably tiny 2"x4" interpretation of the same design. I must admit that I am somewhat smitten with this half-size version.

Like all of my heron tiles, this new version is available facing either right or left, or as a set of two tiles facing each other

Now herons are available in small (2"x4") medium (3"x6) and large (4"x8"). You can see the whole heron collection here

Here is one last photo of the mini herons. This is right after I finished sculpting them, but before I made the mold. FYI I don't usually wear my wedding ring while I am working, but I am still very much married! I might have to start slipping my ring on before I take photos of my hands from now on...
