Framed Castle stoneware tile .... plaster tile mold made from mahogany carving

Dan,
That is some really good work. I assume you can make more of these?? Or was it a one time shot. I think your own work is better than the other tiles you work with. Great stuff.

Yes a great tile. Have you considered doing custom art work casting. Looks like you have a real talent there.

Like taking one of Mark DeCou’s carvings from a chair and putting into into a wall painting. Or your own carving work.

I’ve made several tiles from this mold. Estimate 25 so far … in 6 years….. My wife was just bugging to make more. Plaster tile mold is in the basement, waiting for me to press clay in it. Haven’t fired any clay tiles for over six months. Guess, I should make another kiln load.

I really like this one Dan, love castles, when I spent over a year in Germany there were six of us that would hop in an old VW bus, one of the married guys had over there, on weekends, and we would go find these old abandoned castles and spend the night in them. It was creepy but fun. mike

Pretty cool, Dan.

I really admire your tile work, and the simplicity of your framing to highlight them.

Hi Dan;

This is really great!

I hadn’t seen any of these before, but you did a beautiful job.

Very Creative.

as mentioned in above post, my wife Peggy has been bugging me to make more of this tile. Found a local source for some special clay. Guess it is time to crank out some more tiles. Thinking about starting another blog titled ONE HUNDRED POUNDS OF CLAY. I’ll take few photos of my molds, mahogany patterns and tiles. I’ve got 40 tile molds. Many I haven’t used for years. Bought enogh clay to press clay in everyone, plus multiples of my bigger sellers. might be fun…................... stay tuned !
