About “Cats and Flowers: Gardens” artwork

I love cats and flowers but this set was getting out of hand! If you’re looking for the original set of eight tiles, I divided the original set into two sets of four, “Gardens” and “Vases,” as the most logical distinction looking at the artwork.

About the tiles

These tiles are 4″ x 4″ made with upcycled ceramic wall tiles in a pale yellow. Each tile has the image on the surface and is finished top and sides with a water-resistant finish. I adhere a 4″ x 4″ piece of cork on the bottom.

The finish cures completely after 28 days, but I make them available when they can be handled, after three days. I usually make replacements for designs sold from a set in a week or two.

Because I get the upcycled tiles in whatever quantity they are available I continue replacing designs until I run out of tiles in that size/color/style, then I get another lot and start all over again with full sets on the new tiles, but still sell the old ones that are left.

The designs that are available from this set appear below.

If you have any questions, please send me and email.

NOTES ON USE:

These are not safe for use with food.
These cannot be used as a hot pad for items taken out of the oven or microwave or off the stove, any item which has been heated by cooking—wall tiles were not created to handle oven heat.
These work great as a coaster for items filled with hot food or liquids, like mugs of coffee or tea or dishes filled with cooked food (just not straight out of the oven). There is not enough heat transferred to affect the ceramic from a container of any sort that’s just filled with hot liquid or food.
You can wash them with regular dish soap. In my tests the cork stays in place as long as it’s not submerged.

Special: Discount on two, three or four tiles

Because it’s hard to choose just one, this special discount applies all the time on all my square tiles on upcycled wall tiles, mix and match. If you choose a tile that doesn’t fit that category—like other shapes, sizes or materials, the coupon just won’t work for you.

One tile is $15.00

Two tiles $25.00: use the code 2TILES25.

Three tiles $35.00: use the code 3TILES35.

Four tiles $45.00: use the code 4TILES45.

They are $15 each including shipping, so basically you only pay shipping on one tile. All tax, shipping and handling are included in that price. Buy for yourself and for a friend!

Ordering Tiles

I had always posted the tiles individually, but I’m now posting them in sets. That’s how I usually plan them because I’m always thinking in sets of four, but you can still purchase individual tiles in that set. That way you can also see similar designs together, and see all the designs available even if one or more is not in stock.

The name of each set of tiles above the photo is a link to that set on Portraits of Animals.
Instead of listing each tile separately I have each set of tiles in its own product post.
Inside the post for each set is where you’ll find each of the individual tiles listed.

Some tiles have a note above the product shopping cart.

I usually make replacements in sets as soon as I can until I run out of those particular tiles (same color, size, style, etc.).
Because the finish on the tiles takes several days to cure you may see a “ready to ship ” date.
If the tile will no longer be available on that same color/size/style of tile I will note that it is discountinued.
