Where can I find pictures of ceramic tile backsplashes so that I can get some
ideas on how to design my own. I'm not very artistically inclined. Thanks!

I've been working on tile for my kitchen-- one wall and a backsplash. First
thing to do is figure out what you like, narrow it down. Color? Hi or low
fire? Majolica? Look at those home decorating magazines, especially the
ads. and at tile stores. Or, do you have a favorite glaze or two? When
you've got some ideas, e-mail me & we'll talk. I can also tell you about
the great tile disaster and Why I Had To Do It All Over Again, maybe help
you avoid something similar.

Dear Yeddar,
I highly recommend Frank Giorgini's book titled "Handmade Tiles:
Designing, Making, Decorating". It has lots of inspirational pictures
and very good instructions for a variety of techniques. He gives some
good tips for the production tile maker as well as detailed instructions
for novices.
At the risk of starting the local bookstore vs. Amazon thread again, let
me say that I bought my copy at a pottery supply house, but it is also
available from Amazon for $17.47. The ISBN number is 0937274763. Maybe
you can avoid the whole book vendor issue by getting your local library
to find it? Good luck.

Uh oh. I am about to produce tile for the kitchen and fireplace of
the house we are renovating. I thought I was well-prepared, but...
WHAT IS THE GREAT TILE DISASTER??
Just curious.
Thanks....Lo

Lana,
What was the Great Tile Disaster, I'd love to hear -- if the disaster was
too great to describe in front of 3000 readers (is that what it is now?)
then maybe you could email me directly. We are doing some tiling, and I do
want to avoid it! We had a thread a while back on something like, 'the
dumbest dumb mistake I've made", I don't know if you were on-line then, and
some of our betters have had disasters too.

Lana, please share your disaster story about your tiling. I'm about to tile my
kitchen this summer and would like to be pre-warned. Paula Sibrack Marian,
