Rachel at TileSmile and I did an exchange in the winter time. She liked some of my things, and I selected some of her tiles. This one is an Irish toast.
Some I can't show as they are planned for gifts, and the gift receivers read this blog. Don't want to spoil the surprise.
I love the colors, and the ruddy earthenware clay. The words are cheery and fun. They came in this fun box, with purple paper.
And she sent me an unglazed tile, inviting me to paint onto it. So far I've just been enjoying its rustic raw unglazed texture. Maybe I'll paint on it, and possibly I'll leave it the way it is, swirls of reddish, glazed terra cotta.

I love pottery and ceramics. I wanted to be a potter but then life happened, so I'm a big fan of you ceramicists! I'm using them as drink coasters but they'd be greate framed and hung up, too.
Those are wonderful! I love tiles too and appreciate finding tilesmile through your site. Fantastic photos!

Trading amongst artists is the best. I think it's a really great way of being creative and spreading creativity. How wonderful!
