I don’t know why I have an urge to post these photos.  They are so old that all of them but one were taken with a  camera with film.  They were scanned so long ago the quality is horrible.  They are so ancient they predate ubiquitous stainless steel and granite, in fact.

I created all these mosaics.  I remember at the time thinking the red tiles were so cutting edge.  I used to spend hours milling around showrooms.  So much so some of the employees began giving me broken tiles that were brightly colored or patterned.

I remember the first time I saw glass tile.  I was blown away.  I still am.  Just wait till you see what I’m putting in the Rooftop bar….

You can't see it from the poor quality, but some of these tiles had navy flowers on them. The rest were solid in ice blue, pale butter yellow and emerald green.

This mosaic features at least 20 different tiles in earth tones. There are even a few with a mettalic finish, which was really funky at the time.

Not a backsplash. This fireplace was in my old townhouse. It had been horrible builder grade brick. Most of the tiles had been recycled from another project.

Above a bathroom sink. Some of the tiles were periwinkle with a slight squiggly design.

This was my first. My friend saw how to do it on tv and called me to watch it. A few hours later I was done. I remember her freaking out that I would do something so quickly.

This one was done with the same colors in the same proportion to a huge piece of art in the sitting area opposite. I think the painting was of poppies, but I honestly don't remember.
