I apply the pigments at times up to 10mm thick and this extreme unevenness creates uneven "hot" spots making the tiles to crack. Successful arttiles like these make it worth my while to continue on this treacherous route! Keep going back as we are in the process to load an amazing amount of product ahead of season! Best wishes Gerrit Thank you so much Elza

The colours are magnificent! The scattered leaves - it leaves an impression of how tender flowers are - there is something about this tile that is difficult to put into words! - best I can say is that it really is perfect to my mind. We are also SO glad that these new websites are doing so well after all the hours of hard word you have put into it. I'm sure it was a mammoth task but it is already paying off so it was worth the effort. We have looked at the other handmade tiles as well and it is so hard to choose because they are all so beautiful but my favourites are 2 Birds in a Tree, Twittering Birds and Flowers of Gold. We will certainly follow the growth of the websites too. Gerrit, this is one of the most beautiful art tiles you have ever created. The colours are magnificent!
