This is a segue from the original topic, but related.
Recently, I needed to buy ceramic tiles for a bathroom. Since I live
in a large city, and I like to be thorough when I search for
something, I went to many, too many, tile suppliers, selling tiles
from all over the world.
What did I find? Tiles that look like marble, tiles that look like
granite, tiles that look like wood, slate, polished concrete, leather
with stitching, and finally, tiles that look like fabric. Yes, really
- I'm not exaggerating.
But the one thing I couldn't find is tile that looks like ceramic
tile! The tiles that I love, that reference their source - clay. Ah,
the irony.
By the way, I settled for one called "Linen".
