Meadow Point Studio : Leaf Vases

by: R.W. Evans

Our colorful bird tiles are used for decorative purposes in kitchen, bath, and fireplace surround applications, as well as stand alone pieces of art. These are painstakingly glazed tile, crafted one at a time, there are NO DECALS involved in any way! Using the cuerda seca method popular in the Arts and Crafts era of the early 1900's, Richard lays out his drawing of the bird using wax, then applies the color. Handmade frames of either cherry or oak to allow these to be hung on a wall, are available separately . The tiles measure 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" alone and the frames 6 1/2 " x 6 1/2". Whether you have an Arts and Crafts style home or just appreciate the beauty of birds, these tiles can make a lovely accent.

Each relief tile you see in the lower portion of the page is hand made and fixed in a custom frame. Square tiles average 8"x8" including the frame, but the dimensions of others may vary somewhat depending on tile shape and construction.
