Tile-top End Tables

Nice job. The tiles look like an M. C. Escher style.

I like the tiles. How were they made? Custom made ceramic?

Yes, my wife made them in a ceramics class. She really likes the Islamic mosaics in Alhambra and wanted to make something inspired by that style.

This is a very nice table and the tiles give it a unique design. You and your wife make a good team.

Thanks for the post.

I was going to say that they were either M.C. Escheresque, or from the Alhambra or Alcazar. Beautifully made tiles and table.

I gather that Escher was inspired by mosaics like those at Alhambra. Here’s a nice picture of one like our table (although much fancier.)
