Fine Art Ceramic Tiles

I am trying something new this year with my botanical art drawings. Fine Art Ceramic Tiles. This is the latest in the experiment ~ Tulipa "Apricot Parrot" and bulb.

The image becomes part of the tile by a heat transfer process. It comes with a D-ring attached to the back, ready for hanging or, if you wish, may be displayed on an easel.

The tile measures 6" x 8".

The tulip joins 2 others in the series ~ a pine cone and hydrangea on 4" x 4" tiles. These come with a cork backing and may be used as coasters or displayed as a work of art.

Tulipa - "Apricot Parrot"

 

Part of the enjoyment I receive from botanical art is getting to know the flowers and plants from my garden on a different, more intimate level. I have always loved the frilly, multicolored shades of the Parrot tulip. This bulb was most interesting with the "sash" curving around the middle as the skin of the bulb cracked wanting to grow. So before it went into the ground, I made a drawing. Since this was a Mixture I waited  spring for the right colored flower. This one was my favorite. Hope you enjoy this bit of my garden.
